Nice company to work for

Pros

Friendly environment, co-worker in the same department is very willing to help out when the situation demands it. Communications between management and team member have been increasing, and to great effect. Prone to promote within the company, as long as you are willing to work hard, and stuck to the same company.

Cons

Very stingy with vacation/holiday. As a provider for federal institutes, it should provide at least 5 days of sick time, we only get three, now two more days as personal days, which requires supervisor approval. No holidays between Jan to the end of May, and no veteran's day, or several other federal holidays. Total only 7 days of holiday time in the whole year.

thank you for your feedback, we hope you enjoyed working here, we are improving our work flexibility, however positions in the MB lab are expected to have less flexible hours than our average, due to the nature of the job

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

Pros

Management cares about their company so much that they take the time to post fake positive reviews on here. If only they care about their employees as much.

Cons

So much there isn't a starting point to talk about the cons. If you work here, be prepared for them to squeeze the juice out of you until you're no longer useful for them.

Pros

- Great learning experience and alternative career options especially for those coming from Research (postdocs, PhD students, Grad students) - Meal subsidies - Above average compensation and benefits - CEO is nice and friendly - Free parking space - Management is doing its best to accommodate concerns of staff - Business is growing and have lots of potential - Friendly and approachable HR staff

Cons

- Too much focus on KPI vis a vis Commission. Almost everyone is talking about KPI and their bonus ( or lack thereof) - Quite a culture struggle for non-Chinese - Expect to work beyond 8 hours without OT pay - Favoritism (some) - Medical Insurance provider is not good

I would like to thank you for your feedback, we are glad that you enjoyed most of your time here and sorry that we lose you. As you know we have a strong goal-driven culture and we treat KPI seriously, I have to say that there are room for improvement in KPI measurement, so that it better reflect the actual performance. we will continue improving as suggested, and wish you best luck too.
