Pros

bonus scheme when it's available.

Cons

LGC genomics is in very bad state from a management perspective. I ignored all the bad reviews I saw on glassdoor and joined the company anyway and I regretted it from the beginning. there is continuous conflict within the layers of the company and no scientific vision or direction. the projects are badly managed making it really hard to work on them. the company is always in reaction mode rather then proactive. communication is the worse I have ever experienced despite the efforts from the senior leadership team to make it look like they are trying to keep the employees informed with useless town hall meetings. there is a bulling culture that HR isn't willing to change or tackle or even see.

Pros

Average pay for the area. Very good health benefits (low premium) and okay work life balance. Coworkers fairly chill with the one or two toxic person. Opportunities to cross train and learn new skills if that is your desire.

Cons

Workload uneven between shifts depending on shifting prioritizations on batches. Dead end, no route for career advancement. Cross training is a stopgap measure to cover for department personnel shortages.
