Pluspunten

The only plus are the Cliff bars in the break room. The other reviews saying anything else positive is fake and BS.

Minpunten

Genalyte? More like Gena-LIES! When I decided to work here, I was excited to be part of a revolutionary biotech company. Though it took a lot of patience to deal with the issues with a startup company, I felt I finally found a company I will probably spend quite a long time with, grow with, and witness its maturity over the long years. However, one morning I woke up to shocking news that I, along with 40+ employees from CA and TX, got laid off without any prior notice. Just like that - my dedication, trust, and loyalty to this company - was gone, as they announced a massive "workforce reduction". And to make it worse, their way of announcing it - an online Google Hangouts meeting - was just unprofessional and impersonal. As I hear people upset and in tears though my speakers - I had an immediate feeling of "I knew it". At that point I finally knew that everything added up - the incompetent management, the difficult everyday issues in the field, unequal treatment of people, and unrealistic expectations - and it all struck some sense to me. There were a lot of things that I had to deal with - but I had trust in the company and I worked hard to help in my role and overcame it all. But the way they booted a great number of people, and of those a very good significant number of loyal and hard workers - just with a simple online announcement - is just the worst I have ever experienced in my life. I mean - I didn't even hear a single word from my own immediate supervisor that day or after - the final slap in my face! I do not recommend anyone to work here - Unless you want to make good money (at least in my position), and understand that you can wake up tomorrow without your job anymore. FYI there were massive layoffs during the 1st week I started and the last week I was with the company.

Pluspunten

I was made to feel like a part of the team very quickly. The culture here is very supportive and collaborative, and each employee was committed to Genalyte's goals and aspirations. I felt like the division of work among team members was excellent and made for a very efficient workflow. I was exposed to various fields of engineering and gained a multitude of skills that will help me throughout my career.

Minpunten

I had a great summer experience as an intern!
