Pros
Coworkers are the only saving grace.
Cons
A few years ago I would have said this was a good place to gain experience fresh out of college, but I can no longer recommend it. Advancement opportunities are hard to come by unless you are in the supervisor's and manager's inner circles. Training is extremely rushed, you will be assigned to benches by yourself before you are comfortable or even fully trained in some cases. The executive team has absolutely gutted staffing, only to then have the nerve to be upset when samples are not being processed as quickly as when there were ten other people on staff. They are somewhat aware that it is a staffing issue because they then turn around and demand mandatory overtime. The raises are pitiful, they actually lowered the percentage you can possibly get from 5% to 4% this year. One write-up is enough for them to fire you, be you an employee or a supervisor. HR will straight up lie to you about policy changes. The executive team often ignores or even encourages unsafe laboratory practices and will not hesitate to throw you under the bus when they get caught by auditors. It is no wonder that Eurofins' reputation in the donor testing circles has been declining ever since the current executive team took charge. They claim they want to keep employees and earn the "great place to work" nomination, but they have done absolutely nothing towards either of those goals. Instead, they actively encourage their top performers to quit or fire them for not upholding the echo chamber the executives have placed themselves in. They also have a habit of not paying out non-discretionary bonuses, and employees have had to contact the state to get them to pay. You are better off skipping them and trying for a hospital or state lab. Better benefits, better experience and better connections. Steer clear of Eurofins.
