Pros

The manager I interacted with were friendly and welcoming. Communication before the start date was positive and professional. The role itself seemed meaningful and aligned well with my background.

Cons

The I-9 and document verification process felt unclear and somewhat inconsistent. Even after providing what was requested and participating in verification calls, I continued receiving follow-up requests without clear explanations. Feedback often referenced technical issues (like photo clarity) rather than anything related to the actual eligibility to work. After completing several hours of onboarding, I was unexpectedly informed that the hire would not move forward due to document concerns. The final decision felt abrupt and not fully explained, creating a disappointing and confusing experience.

Pros

Benefits, pay, and catered lunch orders every shift. Company currently growing and seeking to expand its operations. Will learn plenty in lab with the training--opened my eyes to how biotech industry can work with this being my first professional role.

Cons

Fast-paced environment with less consideration for slower coworkers, coworkers that felt cliquey, and management that seemed distant and unapproachable. Getting along with coworkers was the toughest part for me. Some coworkers seemed unapproachable. Had trouble feeling a sense of belonging on the team with seemingly constant critique about my performance with very little mentioning of people seeing improvement.
