Competitive benefits Some genuinely helpful colleagues HR trying to create a collaborative culture internally Working for established and respected brands Interesting product offering from protein reagents, instruments to genomics and diagnostics Customers appreciate the quality of products

Pay raises could be a lot better Shares are expensive to buy, need a significantly improved share scheme Pressure and workload can be at times high Some over-stretched teams need to be given more resources Can be hard to feel part of the bigger organization

Advice to Management

Look after your employees and they will stay loyal Keep up the communication to all the workers across the world

Pros

Large organisation with focus on getting whatever was needed to fufil the job. Expenses were generous.

Cons

Focus grew to forecasting and profit above customer service and relationships in search of profit to please shareholders

Pros

Good work life balance. Annual reviews and merit increases. Good work environment.

Cons

Low increases. Lack of recognition throughout organization.

Pros

Passionate people doing science or helping scientists. I thought 21 years was a long time at one company but there are literally dozens of employees with 25+ years of experience with Bio-Techne.

Cons

Locations at various sites both in the US and worldwide can make it hard to personalize unless you get to travel but they do promote across regions. They are doing a good job of growing a unified culture while still maintaining local flavor.

Advice to Management

Keep communicating and pushing developmental programs. These are great!

Pros

Being surrounded by people who know what they're talking about, company is growing fast so there's potentially room for growth, and friendly coworkers. There's also a free gym for employees which is always a plus!

Cons

Long hours of work during certain times of the year.

Advice to Management

I think management needs to understand that growth within company is just as important as new talent. It's to continue to build that morale by believing in your current employees. When management keeps hiring new people to fill positions that current employees can grow into, it's discouraging and will eventually push good employees out the door. Ask your current employees how they're doing and feeling about their... position and job overall. Please empower your employees to do more so they feel their company cares about their growth, and actually wants them to grow.

Pros

Dynamic, high growth, high energy environment. It's a public company with a small company feel...

Cons

So many things to do, so little time...

Advice to Management

Continue to value your employees and they will continue to keep the company successful!

Pros

Flexible work schedule, with nice minor perks like a gym , celebrations and good parking. Great first job out of college to learn industry standards and lab techniques.

Cons

Don't feel valued by upper management, pay could be better. Doesn't do enough to reward good employees or punish poor ones.

Advice to Management

Be more open to meaningful financial rewards for successful people, and be more willing to let go of employees who routinely fail to meet the basic functions of their jobs.

Pros

Good learning with people that are down to earth and willing to help

Cons

More aligned company wide communication
