Vantaggi
Great technology. Chemistry division is progressive and diverse, the people are more friendly and professional than the Engineering group.
Svantaggi
Some people were fired prior to the acquisition by bioMerieux. This was probably done to sweeten the buyout deal, but they were instead accused of not meeting a vague "performance standard." Those who worked on the Film Array product (the only product the acquiring company was interested in) had an easier time meeting the standard. A few of the managers were attempting to hire only people that passed the local "religion test." I came across evidence of this but it is difficult to prove. I do NOT believe this was a company-wide policy, and it's my guess that those with this discriminatory attitude probably moved over to the "Biofire Defense" offshoot company rather than staying with "Biofire Diagnostics".
