We appreciate you sharing your experience. It's gratifyting to hear that you feel your base salary is fair. As you know, bonus are based on a number of factors, primarily our financial performance. It's been a challenging sales environment for our entire industry and recent bonuses have reflected that economic reality. Our advice to you is to bring these issues up in a discussion with your manager, which is how we improve. We are confident however that Bio-Rad is well positioned to continue to grow in the long term, but the short term is up to us.

Pros

Lower level groups were great to work with. The job itself was routine enough that it was easy to learn. Its a great entry job as you have to pick up many skills in a short period of time.

Cons

Management has no idea what it takes to do the tasks they ask of us with little time. Everything is on rush and half the equipment is outdated and constantly failing. New equipment takes forever to validate, if it ever does. You're constantly asked to help other understaffed groups, even if yours is also understaffed. Communication does not go far with upper management as most of them are also overloaded with work and don't actually understand what is needed for jobs to be done.
