Pros

I am lucky to have a great team and upper management staff which make working for Genscript a true joy. My superiors and colleagues all work together to promote work life balance and support each other. Genscript has been very accommodating for furthering education and having comprehensive training opportunities for employees. Genscript is also well respected in the field as providing high quality products and taking on projects most other CROs cannot handle. It is nice to work for a company furthering their service and product offerings as well as keeping up quality.

Cons

It would be appreciated if management and HR worked together to further the linear trajectories for some of the positions at Genscript. There seems to be some fast ceilings on some of the positions which requires employees to travel laterally in the company ( to a different department for example) to grow your career past a certain point. It would be nice for the company to invest in some of the account management positions to develop more roles, as some of the positions have very broad responsibilities which may be better utilized by dividing up between specialized employees. Compensation is lower on all accounts compared to the market in similar roles.

Pros

Health insurance is decent . Snack at work. Coworkers are friendly - at least when the boss does not tell them to be otherwise

Cons

Typical Chinese company - long hours, heavy workload, endless night meetings, low pay, rampant discrimination against women particularly new moms. If you take more than minimal leave or vacation , you’re frowned upon. Company leadership will also find all sorts of excuses to kick people out to avoid paying the severance, no matter how long they have been working for the company.

Pros

Systematic training and support Opportunities for career growth and advancement Supportive and inclusive work culture Encouraging innovation and freedom to explore new ideas

Cons

The workload can be high before holidays when many clients submit requests, but there are also slow days. The good news is that the more orders we have, the more bonus we get.
