Pros

This company has been constantly growing over the last 45 years. It has evolved from a Spanish distributor to a global integrated In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD) company, being a world leader in the niche autoinmune diseases and hemostasis IVD sectors. It has become a "hidden champion" (so common in Germany or Japan, quite rare in Spain). It takes pride in attracting and motivating the most talented professionals.

Cons

It can be seen as very conservative in some aspects. Though it has been opening up in the last years, there are still some strict hierarchical rules to which one must abide in order to be given some credit.

Pros

good 401k match, 12 paid holidays, 3 weeks vacation time

Cons

below market pay, severely outdated workflows, resistant to change, middle management/leadership talks a big game but really only does it for show and provides no real direction. Many people stick around due to unfair promotions with salaries that don’t align to titles or performance. The company may continue to grow but rarely do those doing the ground work grow with it, or get credit for contributions.
