Pros

Modern lab and office. Mostly hire really great staff

Cons

Everything else. Would rate it less than 1 star if it was possible. Ran by two of the most wildly incompetent and generally nasty people on the planet. She is who you'll deal with on a day to day. She likes to shout at and bully her staff, and will always blame those below her without being able to accept any responsibility, or take any constructive criticism. She will make your everyday life hell. He is just awful and belittling. He does hardly any work and when his "expertise" are needed elsewhere in the company he is nowhere to be found. He is so out of touch with the goings on of his own business, surprised the place is still running. He will try and make you feel small and stupid in front of the entire office if you make the smallest mistake (seen him get basic maths wrong ironically). He will make your life hell in a different way. There is no structure to speak of, the staff pretty much run the operation themselves until a higher up decides to take an interest. As the review before mine states, the staff all come together to get each other through the days (apart from the sneaky few). Wouldn't apply here if it was the last company on earth. Don't do it to yourself.

Nice offices with parking near the town

Cons

Very toxic work environment. Made to feel like scolded children 90% of the time.

Pros

The weekend and days off.

Cons

This place totally destroyed my confidence. Upper management will shout and belittle you over mistakes that are mainly made by her. She will swear at you and I witnessed her reduce countless people to tears. So many people resigned/left when I worked here. Walking into that building made me feel sick everyday and I was on eggshells all day waiting for her to blow up over something minor. On top of all this, when I resigned I received unprofessional messages over teams from the head of sales. She had a problem with my lack of communication, how I need to think of a team, how they invested time into my training etc.- All I did was follow a contract, I cannot change the length of your notice period. I found it extremely disrespectful, especially how she could easily have had a conversation with me in person about it. I understand the frustration with a team member leaving, but being told they had other people who wanted my role etc is extremely unprofessional when the main reason I was leaving is to do with upper management itself. The main problem is the family run business aspect of it, this is the reason why management can treat their employees the way they do. There is not even an HR you can go to as they left themselves!
