Pros

The product is effective. Fringe benefits were great. Don’t know about now.

Cons

Biocodex USA used to be the best place to work. Great culture. Close team with individuals who really poured themselves into the company. Then new management showed up with an (unintentional?) condescending tone/arrogance. “We just don’t have the talent right now”...a huge slap in the face to the team who had kept the company growing and running for many years before he even knew Biocodex existed..”Shameless plugs” and lots of joking in the same meeting as announcing the letting go a colleague who had been with the company for 9 years who everyone respected.. Tone-deaf. Condescending. Arrogant. Biocodex is not Nestle. Shouldn’t treat a close-knit, boutique company as if it’s a world-wide corporation.

Pros

The US subsidiary is relatively small, which creates a close-knit environment where you really get to know your colleagues. One of the standout aspects is how approachable and receptive the General Manager and Leadership Team are; they genuinely welcome input and are responsive to employee concerns. The workplace culture is highly collaborative, more so than in other companies I've worked for, and there is a strong sense of shared purpose. The work itself is meaningful, and there is a real sense of pride in the product. A bonus is the hybrid work schedule, especially at a time when many companies are moving aware from this flexibility. Overall, it is a supportive and engaging place to work.

Cons

Many employees are remote so the only con is not being able to see them in person as often as employees working out of Headquarters.
