Working at Beckman Coulter in Brea, CA: 57 Employee Job Reviews by Real Employee working in Brea, CA Area

"I've worked at Beckman Coulter for over 1 year as a contractor and it was nearly impossible to move around the company. As an old company, it is slowly going down. Morale is falling as well as the happiness of most of my co-workers."

"Beckman Coulter is dedicated to advancing and optimizing the laboratory. For more than 80 years, it has been a trusted partner for laboratory professionals, helping to advance scientific research and patient care. It is a great company to work for and advance knowledge."

"It's weird to review another company for a role at the different company."

"I have worked for Beckman Coulter for over 15 years. The job used to be fun, exciting, and challenging, but in a good way. Now the job is mostly challenging in a bad way. There is too much micro-management and not enough support for the team in the trenches."

"The past 4.5 years have been an uphill battle to put it mildly. We continue to overly complicate day to day activities and struggle with implementing quality remedies to our product lines. Field based employees in the service and support rolls are not trusted to do the right thing and have very little work life balance. Not enough field personnel to support our valued customers. One day I am optimistic upper management will figure that out."

"Too much game-playing and bad treatment and culture, lots of favoritism by management. Find better place to work is doing yourself a great favor."

My supervisor ended up becoming a dear friend that I still keep in touch with, even though he retired two years ago."
