"Working for this company is not worth it, unless you're truly desperate for an income."

What don't you like about working at Life Technologies?

"Management was incompetent and showed favoritism towards informants and those who suck up (for lack of a better phrase). I had a supervisor who didn't even understand the basics of the production process, and I was never sure why he was ever hired. Leads and back-up leads are chosen not based on qualification, but seniority and ass-kissing. If a favorite did not follow SOP, it was considered okay. Management is terribly inconsistent, and does not hesitate to compromise employee safety. There was a pregnant operator working with formamide, for heavens sake!"

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Put employee safety and considerations first. Stop firing people or cornering people into quitting its not right."
