Pros

The Company has not reverted back to in-office work, although it looks to be on the horizon. The work-from-home perk has made working here a little tolerable.

Cons

The Company's trajectory has been a perfect business case study. The Company has never been one for culture but has devolved into a toxic calamity. The remaining employees who stayed after the sale of Brooks have been foisted with new roles and responsibilities and or alienated by new management leaders. Constructive feedback and proposals are ignored by management if they feel it will reflect badly on them, and weekend work has become the new required normal. New employees are not properly trained and are quickly overburdened. There are too many directors and above and not enough workers to complete tasks within deadlines. Many of these directors will only delegate work to saturated teams rather than jump in and help. The inability to attract and retain experienced and credentialed employees have exacerbated these issues. For the average employee, the salary is mediocre. Taking all the variables into account, it would be hard to rationalize joining this Company in its current state until major changes occur. This used to be a fairly decent place to work...it is unfortunate to see how the Company devolved.

Pros

Collaboration: The cross-functional collaboration here is genuinely one of the stronger aspects of working at Azenta. Whether you're working across departments or geographies, people are generally willing to show up and work through problems together. It doesn't feel siloed the way a lot of companies do. Culture: The culture feels human. People actually seem to care about each other, which isn't something you can say everywhere. There's a level of psychological safety that makes it easier to speak up, take initiative, and do good work without constantly watching your back. Leadership: Leadership is visible and accessible in a way that's not always the case at companies this size. There's a genuine effort to communicate direction and keep people informed, and you can tell the people at the top actually care about the mission.

Cons

Compensation & Benefits: Compensation and benefits haven't kept pace with the market. For the level of skill and experience the company expects, the total package doesn't always reflect that. If you're coming from a larger org or comparing offers, it can be a sticking point. Onsite Presence: The expectation around onsite presence feels out of step with where the industry has landed post-pandemic. Flexibility is limited, and for roles where remote work is fully viable, the requirement to be in the office regularly doesn't always have a clear business justification. IT Equipment: You don't get much say in your hardware or software setup. For people who do their best work with specific tools or have preferences around operating systems and devices, the one-size-fits-all IT approach can be a real friction point, especially in roles that are heavily computer-dependent.
