Getting worse by the week

Pros

Some innovative products. Founders of the company have real vision and are quite inspirational. They are also very approachable guys.

Cons

Everything changed with new management. Re-organizations almost every week. People being asked to leave the company one day and then an immediate replacement is waiting in the wings to be brought in. The company culture has totally disappeared. There's just a feeling of overall anxiety, and that management are bringing in all their friends as directors. There's no teamwork. A culture of bullying is ignored when people are hitting quota. Sales are the only thing that's important to the managment regardless of anything else going on. It's unclear whether it's the CEO or the head of sales who's running the show. Appearances suggest the latter.

No training or support. A lonely place to work

Pros

The company has a clear vision of where it wants to be in the future and how it intends to get there.

Cons

No training or support for new employees and managerial skills of staff are lacking. As another person said, everyone keeps themselves to themselves so the office is quiet and unsociable. The company is suited to veterans of the industry not to new scientists or relatively inexperienced.

Pros

The IncuCyte is an amazing instrument. The best part of this job was the seminars and talking to customers. Customers appreciate the support from FAS and TSS, but unfortunately that varies widely from region to region.

Cons

Goals are ridiculously unattainable. They don’t care a bit about anyone who works there. Everyone is dispensable and it shows in their attitudes and behavior towards their sales and support teams. The micromanagement will beat you down, steal your confidence, and leave you bitter and angry. When I gave my notice my manager didn’t even call me. HR called me and let me go on the spot.
