Avis sur QIAGEN

Inconvénients

Frequent structural changes and unrealistic targets.

Inconvénients

all significant decisions and timelines come from HQ.
Most business support activities like Payroll, Customer Service, and IT have been outsourced, so get used to hunting for a solution, developing a workaround, and waiting for email replies.

Inconvénients

My boss had no knowledge of his job and was one of the laziest managers I've worked, if not the worst one. Unfortunately, he just used others' hard work to credit his terrible performance.

Inconvénients

Stress levels can be high depending on which project you are allocated to and who the managers are.

Some Projects are given all the resource and everyone else is expected to cope

There is a high turn over of staff at all levels of the company

The pay is low for the industry and location yet they want highly motivated employees. (Even after the ~4years I have been here my pay is less than my previous job)

New hire staff without experience can earn the same as those that have been in the role for a long period of time and have more experience which seems unfair.

Wage rises in April generally track inflation so it is not actually a wage rise.

Pay scales are benchmarked but employees aren’t allowed to know what the range for the role actually is.

Inconvénients

No internal growth opportunities unless someone left the company. Almost 1/3 of work forces are contractors. Terrible work/life balance. They claim that their 2019 benefit is competitive. but It is very difficult to agree with them. Once you compare their salary, insurance, vacation and bonus to other companies, you may get this point.

Inconvénients

This is a smaller site in a larger company that was initiated from an old acquisition (which may mean something only to those who have experienced it before). There were growing pains that are mostly hammer out. Also, doing fast-paced development of technology heavy products with a truly global team (working on other parts of a diagnostic sequencing product) is not always easy.

Inconvénients

As QIAGEN is a global organisation it can sometimes be difficult to reach out to people in different time zones.

Inconvénients

There are times where you can be really busy but weeks where you can be very slow at work

Inconvénients

no real professional growth and overworking as standard

Inconvénients

Upper management makes aweful decisions. But wait long enough, what was old will be new again.
