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

I feel very fortunate to have joined GenScript. Over the past 20 years, I have not worked at many companies—this is only my eighth—but it is truly the best position I have had in my career so far. The working environment is relaxed and supportive, my colleagues are friendly and collaborative, and my manager is genuinely caring and attentive to the team. What makes GenScript especially outstanding is its strong culture of innovation, integrity, and commitment to excellence. The company not only delivers high-quality products and services, but also invests in its people, encouraging professional growth and recognizing individual contributions. There is a clear sense of purpose in the work we do, and it is motivating to be part of an organization that strives to make a meaningful impact in the industry. While I cannot speak for everyone’s experience, I can say that I am truly happy working here and feel proud to be part of such a great company.

Cons

Like any growing company, there are still areas for improvement. Communication across teams and regions could sometimes be more streamlined, and processes may not always be fully standardized, which can occasionally lead to inefficiencies. In addition, as the company continues to expand rapidly, workload and priorities can shift quickly, requiring employees to stay flexible and adapt to changes. There may also be opportunities to further enhance career development pathways and internal communication to support long-term growth. Overall, these are common challenges in a fast-growing organization, and there is clear effort from leadership to continuously improve.
