Pros

office lunch every other week.

Cons

Expectations of hours you put in are very high for lab employees and the pay is on a much lower scale than what most other companies are willing to pay. Communication throughout is lack lusting.

Pros

The pay was one of the nicest aspects of working for this company. I received excellent compensation and always felt that my work was valued.

Cons

The CEO was know for being an egoistic with a restricted mindset. His inflexibility and unwillingness to consider alternative perspective were eroding the company's ability to adapt to changing market conditions. Despite repeated attempst from employees to offer new ideas, he remained entrenched in his own opinions and refused to budge from his established ways of doing things. This reluctance to embrace change was hindering the company's growth and causing frustration among employees who felt their voices were not being heard. Unless the CEO became more open to new ideas and ways of doing things, the company's future success would remain in jeopardy.

We take allegations about COVID-19 very seriously. State requirements have been implemented for safeguards, preventative measures, and procedures. During a COVID-19 crisis and upon employee request, Conagen allowed different work hours to provide flexibility and convenience to employees to minimize COVID-related concerns. Conagen HR and management are transparent about the performance review process and are accessible for one-to-one discussions. The HR Manager is always available to answer questions about the review and status updates.
