Pros

Co-workers are some of the best people I've ever worked with. They're dedicated, self-motivating, dependable, self-managing, and incredibly talented & intelligent. Benefits are solid and dependable. The work itself is rewarding and for a good cause. It's a good place to build your resumé.

Cons

High turnover rate. You have to fight for every raise and every promotion. Upper management is oblivious to employee needs (even when everyone is clearly stating their pain points) - very little emphasis on training, poor planning, short-sighted projects and unreasonable action, and disrespectful. They assign work outside of a person's job description regularly, without warning, without asking, without guidance/transition, and without compensation for no good reason. HR is nonexistent. The only support we get is from each other. There is very little diversity - it's incredibly white and male dominated. Processes are immature and poorly managed. The company has questionable criteria for electing and advancing leadership. Leadership qualities seem not to involve compassion and understanding, but their ability to relentlessly bring profits at everybody's expense

Pros

Collaboration: The cross-functional collaboration here is genuinely one of the stronger aspects of working at Azenta. Whether you're working across departments or geographies, people are generally willing to show up and work through problems together. It doesn't feel siloed the way a lot of companies do. Culture: The culture feels human. People actually seem to care about each other, which isn't something you can say everywhere. There's a level of psychological safety that makes it easier to speak up, take initiative, and do good work without constantly watching your back. Leadership: Leadership is visible and accessible in a way that's not always the case at companies this size. There's a genuine effort to communicate direction and keep people informed, and you can tell the people at the top actually care about the mission.

Cons

Compensation & Benefits: Compensation and benefits haven't kept pace with the market. For the level of skill and experience the company expects, the total package doesn't always reflect that. If you're coming from a larger org or comparing offers, it can be a sticking point. Onsite Presence: The expectation around onsite presence feels out of step with where the industry has landed post-pandemic. Flexibility is limited, and for roles where remote work is fully viable, the requirement to be in the office regularly doesn't always have a clear business justification. IT Equipment: You don't get much say in your hardware or software setup. For people who do their best work with specific tools or have preferences around operating systems and devices, the one-size-fits-all IT approach can be a real friction point, especially in roles that are heavily computer-dependent.
