Pros

GenScript welcomes fresh graduate students who want to try something other than bench work. Lots of training and opportunities for self-growth. Most employees are highly educated and well trained in the biology-related fields, thus easy to communicate and work with. Most importantly, the overall working environment is very friendly and everyone's work or opinion is valued and respected. Great company to work for if you are looking for somewhere that can provide you the resources and opportunities to grow.

Cons

The company is growing very fast and you will need to be motivated to keep up with all the job responsibilities. If you are looking for a laid-back 9-5 job, you will probably find working here challenging. For my position, we will have meetings with our China team during evening hours once in a while, however, we do get those hours back for extra vacation days! Other positions may not require direct interactions or evening meetings with our China team.
