Bio-Rad Laboratories Environment Employee Reviews

working together, having small talks, being appreciated by coworkers

No one expects you to work after 5pm

Everyone trusts each other to do their job and management actively encourage social activities.

Great communication. Lots of community events and programs.

Genuine politeness of the culture (if you've been in a toxic one you know how important that really is) and comraderie.

They Try to do a great job.

I believe we all see the positive in working at a company we can make our mark at and that is itself providing something good to society.

Our culture is friendly, funny loving, and always willing to lend a hand. Authentic.

The diversity and your ability to move up

everyone in the team member is helpful

Coffee hour weekly to chat and play with coworkers.

I think it depends on the person, but people tend to stay around for a long time so while no one likes change (which tends to be the biggest source of complaints) there are plenty of people that can put everything in perspective.

Reasonable expectations and behavior - no yelling, cursing

As previously said, the company is still focused on growing and making long term investments (R&D, aquisitions, etc...). It has diverse workforce with strong scientific background

Everyone wants to see us succeed

They need to follow their own values and build trust by valuing their employees properly. Stop quiet firing and letting talented people walk out because you are unwilling to pay them fairly. This entitled attitude certainly doesn't "build trust," to quote one of Bio-Rad's "values."

Develop employee engagement programs. Train executives how to support and retain their employees. Hold managers accountable for how they treat their direct-reports. Invest in training and development (and not just watching pre-recorded videos). Initiate a global corporate communication program.

open communication, trust and transparency. create culture of innovation

The leaders of the company are the ones that dont worry about anyone else, leaders need to thing more about employes

Review from Engineering Dept

Answer - a whole new management team! Integrity, respect is needed. The current lot is in it to line their pockets at the expense of employee satisfaction. Take a serious look at the pay structure versus the industry. If you pay middle of the road, then expect mediocrity. you get what you pay for.

Enforce the dress code so that people dress more professional would be a start.
