Pluspunten

Can learn a lot of skills working here Great stepping stone Outgoing coworkers Diverse employees Beautiful campus includes a cafe, buffet, and gym Good Medical Insurance ***This company has so much potential (needs to solve internal issues first)

Minpunten

-Management do not listen to suggestions or issues brought up in meetings, but only care about output -Lack of communication from upper and lower staff/departments -Training needs major improvement (Figure it out! From a supervisor to an employee, especially one with no experience and in the Manufacturing department is not acceptable. There is a reason why shadowing exists. Assigning projects to a new employee on their first week to do independently, without experience is mindblowing, but it happens here. Not only observed it once, but several occasions) -Low pay (which barely was modified couple months ago) -High turnover rate (Majority leave within a year) -Not enough space (Shifting people in the building and adding more new people does not solve the issue, there is still not enough room) -Not enough equipment and outdated equipment that tend to break down often -Manufacturing protocols need to be improved -When wanting to transfer departments, associates are discouraged/opposed by management -HR does not really help or fix issues that effects employees well-being. Issues that are brought in several exit interviews. They allow incidents to reoccur. Associates were not notified of any covid cases on campus only if it was mouth to mouth. Then suddenly notifications were posted on the BioLegend Network, without notifying associates of the page online (again, lack of communication)

This review appears to be a duplicate of a recently posted review but I will respond here. I have shared this directly with the manufacturing leadership team again for their feedback. It is completely untrue that COVID cases were not communicated. BioLegend meets or exceeds all requirements for COVID safety. We started employee notifications well in advance of any legal requirement to do so. Safety of our employees is our top priority and we have been ahead of the curve on all COVID safety. We are proud to say we have had no workplace transmissions. Any employees that tested positive have, upon investigation, contracted the virus outside of the workplace. I wish you success in your new role and assure you that we take all feedback seriously, including exit interviews.

Great coworkers that were always willing to lend a hand.

Minpunten

The pay is absolutely horrendous compared to other bio companies' market. Losing great talent and people who want to move up/stay at the company, but they do not give their employees the pay they deserve.

Pluspunten

There are many experienced and collaborative people at BioLegend who you can learn from. Company's growing and collaborating with other branches of Ravvity to modernize. Some managers are very hands-off that they'd allow you space to learn and work independently. Great place to learn and start out in the industry. Free fruits and Kombucha.

Minpunten

Don't be a high performer, aka a tall daisy, at BioLegend because there are some gangs of toxic people who will try to cut you down to make themselves look better. If you plan to be a tall daisy, take extra precaution. Most are nice and hardworking people and don't like to insert themselves into other people's business. But there are several gangs of gossipers who'd like to take very long breaks to spread dangerous rumors about others, especially the tall daisies. Even if you never interact with them and they don't know a single thing about you, they will search for a littlest thing you do, then turn that into a huge issue. They will spread rumors, distort the truth, and delete context. In your first few weeks at BL, pay extra attention to identify gossipers, people with gang-like behavior, and fiction writers. Take extra precaution when you achieve something (products release, process improvement, business deals....). Do not confront the gossipers directly because they're very good at playing victims. Needless to say, do not tell them anything about yourself. Many people in the management are aware of this issue but they just want to look away. No one wants to fix the culture at BioLegend.
