Eurofins

A typical day is a lot of commitment to work since there was too much demand of job of several companies with whom Eurofins has a contract.
I learned to be quick and effective in my work having a good management of my time.
The workplace culture was very friendly.
The most challenging part of the work was when there was a bad function of the instrumental equipment since it delayed the work and could not meet the objective of the test report of each day.
The most enjoyable part of the job was the friendly environment between the bosses and coworkers.

No work life balance ( you will be victimised for not working overtime) and most importantly, don't even consider going there if you have a degree in Chemistry because guess what, you will be stuck at the lowest possible level forever.. The management only wants people with any other degree but Chemistry (don't believe me..walk through the lab and ask everyone.. one at a time). You will hear that the company is growing this that..etc..But remember only the company, not you or your salary. Your work will never be recognised! 

Avoid this company like the plague. They are every every eager to recruit no-nothing managers and this is a great path to failure for everyone (or at least for me and many others who left the company). It is not accidental that they have huge staff turnover with no more than 1-2 years of experience with them; just search on-line yourself to find out.

Typical working hours with minimal weekend work
Learned how to work autonomously with minimal guidance from manager.
Management do not develop staff at all. They leave it to you to develop yourself and they want you to do it outside of work hours.
Colleagues are friendly and very helpful. Management are trying to virtue signal and do not have a clue about the business they run.

Worked here for 18 months of pain. 
Supervisors were horrible, constantly set KPI limits that could not be reached then questioned why they were not reached. Had meetings everyday and if the moral section was low we would be questioned and made to put it higher. Staff are negligent with chemicals due to lack of training and employees are pressure into falsifying results even if the instrument can not detect that limit. Would rather be on centrelink then work here

Login and enter the building, attend to emails and commence work, have lunch, resume working, finish
If one ignores the promises of cross-training and additional staff by management and treats it purely as a transactional thing one will do well, if one does not, one will find their efforts unrewarded 


The company is Open to diversity and cultural difference. Additionally they are Very understanding for personal situation and give reasonable options for certain circumstances.  However, there can be lot of pressure sometimes and attention to detail is highly required. 

They might not have the greatest pay rates when you start but they do value your work and you get what you deserve once you have proven to be a good worker for the company. I loved every day at my workplace and I made really good friends while being there. I only had to leave because my working visa expired but I would love to go back into the company in the Country I moved to!

Fast paced work environment but tons of skills were learned whilst there. Push you to a level that makes you uncomfortable at times but in the end it makes you think outside the box and acquire new skills you never had.

Staff was very nice and made you feel like a member of the team right from the get go.

I am satisified with work environment. If a person has abilities to work in any environment and passion to learn quick and do fast and hard can survive.
