Great steady role with best-in-class products, limited opportunity for advancement or training despite company growth.

Pros

Some great people, best in class products and systems. Focussed on growth. Compensation and annual international travel opportunities as a top performer are good.

Cons

Rule by committee - nobody acts without multiple teleconferences/meetings. Becoming too procedure led - trying to 'clone' the competitiors' way of doing things. Minimal opportunity for personal development or career growth unless one lives in Germany, the US, or is willing to relocate.

I wish I had given so much of my life to any company but Gen-Probe.

Pros

When I began working at Gen-Probe many years ago, benefits were surprisingly good, especially fully paid heath care (after working for the University of California which charged over $1000/month on a poor salary). Most any health care provider was covered, and copays were reasonable. However, . . . {see Cons}.

Cons

Every year benefits became more of burdens. I know health care costs have risen, but our compensation did not keep up with inflation and the ever increasing transfer of health care costs to employees. When I last looked in 2012, I was making $10,000 less than in 2002 (in 2002 dollars). Hmmm, that cannot be right, especially with executive management getting their automatic 10+% raises, disproportionate bonuses and free stock options just to make sure they always had some stock.
