Pros

Pays well, PTO is generous

Cons

Was part of recent layoffs, so choose to believe me or don't choose to believe me. This is my perspective and my experience. There is always pressure to get products out, even if it means cutting corners on quality and documentation. Leadership often looks for shortcuts, which weakens the quality system just to speed up production. Manufacturing leaders don’t make quality a priority because they are too focused on hitting their numbers. The quality team has tried to change the culture, but many have become jaded and compromised over time, choosing to go along with decisions that put business needs ahead of quality. The work environment can also be tough. The director of manufacturing has a reputation for being aggressive, and from what I’ve seen in leadership meetings, that reputation is well-earned. The mindset at this company seems to be “ship now, fix later,” which isn’t how a diagnostics company should operate. Even the director of quality seems more interested in helping the business than in setting firm quality standards.
