Aggressive business model but culture and management needs improvement

Business development manager

Business Outlook

Pros

Benefits are not bad on top of pay, eg red packet for CNY, Christmas gift etc.

Cons

Management only favor PhD. So even a lot of working experience (like 10 years), the chance of promotion is low. They are on crunch to IPO so getting sales is so important that there is no room to personal development.

Technical account manager

Business Outlook

Pros

1)Fast-paced growth with tangible career advancement: The company offers a clear path for high performers. I've seen fresh graduates promoted to supervisor or manager roles within just 1-2 years based on merit and strong results. 2) Continuous learning in a dynamic field: Genscript job may provide exposure to cutting-edge trends in biomedical research and opportunities to develop practical business skills. A unique perk is the chance to collaborate with industry leaders whose names you might otherwise only read about. 3)A genuinely supportive and friendly culture: Colleagues are nice and helpful, a collaborative spirit that stems from the company's start-up roots. This creates an environment where people are invested in each other's success. 4) Competitive and improving benefits package: Time Off: 12 vacation days (after 1 year of service), 2 floating holidays, 2 personal days, and 5 sick days. Health Insurance: A strong plan is offered. Notably, the company contributes $2,000 to your Health Savings Account (HSA) if you select that option.

Cons

1)The workload is heavy, no surprise there – but that’s pretty much the norm in this industry and economy. You really have to be ready to put in the hours. 2)Pay isn’t the most competitive, especially if you’ve been here a few years. It’s something people do notice and talk about. 3) Working globally comes with real challenges. You’ll be coordinating with teams and clients across time zones—like calls with the West Coast or late-night meetings with Asia. and the toughest part is often the cultural gaps, whether it’s between the U.S. and Asia or across different parts of the business (like research, commercial, and production). It takes some getting used to, and everyone feels it in their own way.

Pros

Medical benefits are very good, pay is decent, colleagues are friendly, great teamwork, workload generally manageable.

Cons

Lack of growth opportunities, rigid management. Not the best environment for local colleagues. Performance reviews only there to make things unnecessarily competitive, measuring only hard skills and raw output metrics, not teamwork and communcation skills. Info sharing meetings given completely in Chinese, causing those weaker in Mandarin to miss out on useful knowledge.
