Pros

Some management changes have been good. Cool technology to work with.

Cons

If you are looking for a first job, do not apply here. They take advantage of your naivety and willingness to overachieve. You are severely underpaid for a science position on Long Island. The work is menial tasks and the environment is rude, disrespectful, and filled with passive aggressive people who will love to make you feel like your entire existence is worthless. I would work tons of overtime and strive to do anything that needed to be done and still got talked to like an unimportant child by certain senior members of the staff. They try to incentivize you to work 12+hr days and weekends by citing "overtime pay" which is still less than other companies in the region pay. Work/life balance simply does not exist. I swore I would never try to work salaried there after seeing the days those employees had to work. Just a nightmare of a company to work for. This doesn't even touch their abject lack of resources for a biotechnology company... They are stuck in the 1980s.

Pros

The only upside of working for this company was developing relationships with coworkers and building camaraderie knowing that we were all in this together.

Cons

Downsides? This company is the epitome of unethicality and dishonesty. Their outright disregard for their employees state of mind and sense of purpose is disturbing. Blatantly prioritizing the hiring of language-barriered employees for the sake of cultivating a demographic they can belittle and take advantage of. Which prevents their workforce from having the confidence to voice their concerns or speak out against egregious acts of corporate misconduct. You have no voice. Their HR department is only there to hire you, fire you, and do payroll. Their business strategy is to repeat cycles of hiring to fire depending on the size of the orders they receive. They'll hire you to fill an order they're not equipped to fill and then fire you once it's finished, rinse and repeat. All while knowingly lying to impressionable new hires by promising growth and progression when their fate is already sealed. The proof is in the pudding, this company has an extensive 30 year reign of being unprofitable and mediocre all while relying on cheap labor and regretful investors to stay afloat. By far the worst work culture I've ever had the displeasure of being apart of and I mourn for those trapped there with no other options, I pray it gets better for them.

Pros

The people are great. Hard working and always will to go the extra mile to help follow workers.

Cons

No loyalty to workers. No bonuses, no holiday party. The only people who get the perks are upper management. The turn over rate is extremely high in every department. People are over worked and under paid. Management is petty and gossip. Offices and labs are crowded and need to be updated.
