Pros

Not many to speak about

Cons

First thing, the company is in great financial trouble, the management recently changed and is cutting whatever is possible. This alone should be enough to discourage anyone from accepting an offer or even applying. Second thing: there is a strong ‘blame the next’ culture there, at all levels. No one is willing to accept accountability and everything is discharged onto the next level. Third thing: an extremely old-fashioned hierarchical model paralyses all initiatives and decisions, everything drags on forever there. I could add more, but it doesn’t make sense and it happens in all departments: Medical, IT, Bioinformatics and more. Stay away!

Pros

Good product portfolio, benefits are great if you’re single, salary is decent (until you find out they basically don’t do raises and don’t have a performance review system in place)

Cons

For starters I don’t write reviews on anything so the fact I’m taking time to write this should really say something off the bat. Constant yelling, being talked down to as if you’re a dog, just overall unprofessionalism by a lot of people (mainly in upper management). Many people just pull rank on you if they disagree with something you say and usually aren’t willing to even compromise as it’s usually their way or the highway. Whenever any sort of compromise does happen (very rare) people drag there feet as much as possible to get the task done. Microsoft excel is the CRM system with no willingness to change that anytime soon which makes it near impossible to keep things in order. Almost everything is done manually with next to no automation in place to make things easier. Just an overall very toxic work environment that in turn creates a very high turnover with the company.

Dear former employee, I am sorry to hear that you did not have the best experience at Centogene. Some of your points of concern we are already adressing, with the start of company wide appraisal interviews this year and higher digitization. We know that not everything is perfect and take all feedback seriously. If you would like to give a more detailed feedback let me know. I would be happy to talk. Thank you and best regards, Anja Seidel
