GenMark Diagnostics Reviews

This company will lie through its teeth to everyone. Filled with narcissistic fake-nice people in management roles, there's no room for anybody else in the room with their inflated egos taking up every inch of the building. Absolutely ZERO 401k matching. Passive-aggressive retaliation from management and leads Promote a great work-life balance but in truth are very reluctant about letting employees use pto or even sick time. The entire layout is not optimal for productivity. Example: It's very inconvenient to have to walk downstairs all the time from my workstation to get to the lab. Those that need to be in the lab should have easier access. There's too much contamination, employees contaminated with amplicon had to cross over into clean zones which risked contamination to manufacturing. This was brought up multiple times, yet nothing was done about it. Clique-city up here. Very hard to get to know my fellow co-workers when there's no interest in welcoming anybody new. This critique extends not just to peers, but to leads as well.

Long hours (45-60 hours/week average), ridiculous and stressful timelines, terrible senior leadership overall with the exception of a few (actually just one) who seems to know what they're doing and actually have decent insight as to how the company needs to organize and operate. Pay is generally below average and they try to compensate with stocks but those are worthless most of the time. High turnover rate as well so it's hard to get long-term goals accomplished when the people you coordinate with leave every 6-18 months. They will lay off the people working hard to design this product but upper management will still get outrageous bonuses. Seems unethical really.
