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.

Pros

Good employees with friendly nature.

Cons

Poor employee management. Nepotism CTO knows CEO, Group head knows CTO. If you speak mandarin you will be favoured. No work from home is allowed, No comp. time is given for extra hours of work. Work environment has become toxic after hopewell site acquisition. Retaliatory action is taken if you ask questions.

Genscript

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.

Good starting job

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.
