Pros

Hands on experience on NGS Constant training and assessment

Cons

Doesn't have standards in order to employ people. I am a master's graduate and in sample collection team, where I have to stick the labels. Anyone can do that even without a degree. Work in this team is like work in the warehouse. The whole company just focus on selling products and doesn't have any interest in upgrading employees life. Treat as slaves and salary is peanuts. They trick people. Job description said that I have to perform experiments and update the data but 1 week in the job, I have never done anything science. Why do I need qPCR, NGS techniques which has mentioned in the JD for sticking labels and opening the boxes. Zero career progression. No career progression or employed in the good team if you aren't Chinese. No what's app or Gmail. Uses only Chinese website such as WeChat, wecom and exmail and WPS office. Most of the messages and emails comes in madrian language. No benefit apart from annual leave which is also only for 20 days. Everything is based on performance. Very difficult career upgradation.
