Astrix-Technology-Group

A few people there are okay to be around, but management will act to nice you and talk critically behind your back and turn on you if they don't like you. There is a technician there that is extremely controlling and bossy even though they hold the same title as you. So you really aren't able to take ownership of the tasks you are responsible for. This was a huge disappointment for me as I was trying to become more versatile as an employee. And they will go complain to management the moment you do something to rub them the wrong way. You really just have to smile, fall in line, and do what is needed for the day. 

If you are outgoing and have a personality that aligns with theirs then you will be successful. Your qualifications don't really matter here because you will be trained for a solid month or longer on what you will be doing anyway.

Astrix has grown tremendously over the past several years.  The culture is strong.  The leaders are effective and are tenured.  There is an entrepreneurial spirit at Astrix.  There is low turnover.  You are given the tools to succeed in your role.  There is a lot of autonomy and flexibility in your role as long as you meet goals.  Astrix hires great people that are working internally and provide quality consulting and staffing services, so clients are typically happy and satisfied working with us.

Astrix has been a wonderful experience from start to finish. I was originally contacted by one of their recruiters for a local position. I was given all of the information up front, had a great phone interview with the recruiter, and then had site specific interviews. The Astrix recruiter was phenomenal through the entire process, communicating at each step, setting expectations, and answered all of my questions. As part of the interview prep they sent out several emails with helpful tips and practice questions. Once I received an offer, I was followed up on after a week, month, and then again 3 months in to check on my satisfaction and progression in my position. It’s clear they care about the experience you have at your placement! 

Constant customer satisfaction issues that trickle down to personally damage reputations. Few good references from customers due to saying anything to close the order and then managing missed expectations later. Hothead CEO will chew out anyone in the company including top managers. Very volatile and uncomfortable company. No room for advancement. Get everything in writing up front and expect nothing more. 

This company does not care about you. Their sole goal is to fill positions, regardless of if it's a good fit or not. No support given to employees, and they will not try and find you further work once your contract is done. They took advantage of me during a time where I was desperate for work (in the middle of COVID), and they mistreated me at every turn. My complaints and worries went completely ignored. Once my contract was over, they only wanted to know if I had friends they could hire. Do not work here, ever. 

I was a contract employee.  They did not communicate with the on-site bosses at all.  Pay was much lower than it should have been for the hours and hard work we put in. We worked the same hours and tasks that permanent employees did, but made at least $6/hr less than them. We were forced to work holidays, at our regular hourly pay rate. No paid time off. Extremely poor benefit packages at an extremely high cost.  The company recruiters (your point of contact once you are employed) are extremely unhelpful and unresponsive.

I've worked for Astrix for over 6 months, starting right before the pandemic. Needless to say, I absolutely love this company. With a lot of uncertainty that we have faced during this time, my team has made it clear over and over how valued I am, and how much my hard work is appreciated and recognized. I found that working with people who value you and care about you makes work more enjoyable. I love what I do and working with this team has made it possible. I have a great management team, colleagues and leaders of the company. 

Astrix was a decent place to work. If you’re looking for a fully remote role in the LIMS space, it’s a good opportunity to gain product knowledge and exposure to a wide range of companies that use it. The main drawback is that bonus pay is only awarded if you’re assigned to a project, and vacation time isn’t included. You do get to pick the project you want to be associated with or works for you. And the salary is probably undercut to what you could be making in the actual field but if work-life balance is more important it’s definitely a great option!

Astrix is a great place to work!  You'll notice the long-term tenure with employees at Astrix across the nation. The culture is very healthy with strong leadership that is transparent and honest and treat their employees well.  If you do well at your job, you will make money and be given flexibility.  There is an entrepreneurial spirit and an overall positive vibe derived from working with teammates that enjoy working hard and collaboratively. 

This company will not help you when you have an issue with management. My supervisor was horrible and lacked leadership skills. She was very friendly with HR which why I believed they did not help me when my supervisor was rude, mean and unprofessional!
They don't like to give raises or help advance their employees. They do paint a very pretty picture when you apply and interview.
