      Lack of management skills

      Pros

      Somewhat a good start point of your career if you are a fresh graduate Coworkers are friendly

      Cons

      - starting salary is very bad, almost minimum wage - the management is lacking basic skills and very disorganized - overwork - extremely high turnover rate which worsened the workload. It also took them extensive period of time to hire replacement - very little space for career advancement - favoritism. Management only appreciates people they like - there are quite some Trump supporters (they keep it low key though). it is especially ironic considering most of them are Chinese immigrants - people outside of the department like to gossip A LOT

      good place for first job

      Anonymous employee
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      1. Still a fast growing company with many opportunities for career advancement and/or lateral transfer between teams. 2. Very friendly and helpful co-workers (what I miss the most about working there). 3. Commercial team recruits people with no prior work experience. 4. Encourages employees to learn. For someone with an advanced degree in biology and good business sense but lacks work experience, this is a good place to start career in the biotech business world.

      Cons

      1. Poor benefits (eg. only offers 10 vacation days and 3 sick days a year) 2. Management style is still very "Chinese". I've also heard some bad stories about the company in its early days, but it appears to have improved significantly over these years. The company has just gone public which I hope will help the trend to continue.
