Pros

No performance reviews - Mutually agreed goals Biotech company doing good in the world - Not just making the man rich Great Culture - adaptive, supporting, vibrant, and trusting. Modified agile approach in the web team area - autonomous teams DevOps Support to work on cool stuff in the cloud They make cool stuff Good Work life Great managers that care about you and coach you. Focus on quality and R&D Heavily discounted lunch (good food) Software gets to work with tons of out of norm/awesome groups (Marketing, hardware, chemistry, data science, regulatory, and clinical) Not many software places offer that. Buildings and Environment is new and nice Hybrid working schedule (1 or 2 days in the office)

Cons

The software department is great by shielding a lot of corporate stuff, but other departments are not ran that well. Seems like two companies: Manufacturing and R&D. Most of the bad reviews are for manufacturing, the R&D side is much better. Research park sucks to commute too. Company is going through a transition to BioMerieux who bought BioFire years ago. (Might be for the best) No strong executive decision maker with the transition Unnecessary documentation and red tape Local leadership, is not employee focused and corporate leadership is way to far removed and mostly talk.

Pros

Good work week hours. You get every other Friday off. Plenty of vacation time. Very good 401k. Decent medical benefits. Coworkers are the best to work with. Excellent talent and ingenuity. The developers are top notch, project managers are awesome to work with to a degree.

Cons

If you are a test engineer, you will have every project manager, associate director, director and senior director know better than you how to test software. They conform to the factory based test method. They wont let you deviate so don't try. Even with their extremely educated management, they seem to know little to nothing about Tacit and Explicit knowledge or ignore it outright because it doesn't fit into their outdated method. But aren't above informing you how a test case is to be written so that anyone can run it. (A terrible model that makes lazy testers, expensive test case documents, and crappy software)
