Pros

None they let go of managers and reps if they do not hit the 4ml goal. No training and no one has hit there number so no bonus,

Cons

year l target 4ml the sequencers are in China. No one wants to do businees with China. They are trying to rebrand from being BGI to MGITech to Complete Genomics. The turn over in high and management micro manages team. No Diversity or Inclusion they hire Chinese people very few were of other decent. No marketing materials or CRM we use excel spreads sheets to keep track of our calls. The 2 sequencers they gave away to get KOL's interest are down and not working. They do even have a lab to bring customers in. The contracts are also an excel form.

Complete Genomics Response

We are sorry to hear of your disappointment in working at Complete Genomics, LLC., which was formed in the Bay area in 2006. We are presently owned by MGI Americas, but operate as a fully functioning company in the Americas. The turnover is quite low compared to industry standards, and in fact, we have almost doubled in size in the past year. As with any growing organization, time is required to improve processes, which we are completing on a daily basis. Our field teams are provided training upon initial hire and throughout their employment with us. We do have an inside sales team, which was recently formed to help support our field sales team along with highly talented field applications and engineering teams. We take great pride in our diversity and inclusion by hiring top talent regardless of culture, race, creed, background, etc. We encourage all qualified candidates to apply.

Pros

Coworkers are generally supportive and pleasant to work with outside of management and HR. Many employees are dedicated, knowledgeable, and willing to help one another despite ongoing organizational challenges.

Cons

Management demonstrates a limited understanding of the underlying technology and often responds poorly to employee feedback. When staff raise concerns about product quality, operational issues, or customer satisfaction, those concerns are frequently dismissed, and employees may experience retaliation or blame rather than constructive problem-solving. Customer retention appears to be a significant challenge. Clients pay substantial sums to try the company's spatial technology products but become dissatisfied with the quality of the deliverables and never return. Rather than prioritizing long-term business goal of providing quality data, and customer retention, leadership often seems focused on duping new customers while leaving recurring issues unresolved. There is a lack of accountability within management, and leadership decisions do not consistently reflect strong business practices or scientific rigor. Advancement opportunities often appear to be influenced more by personal relationships and alignment with management than by demonstrated competence, experience, or technical expertise, resulting in ineffective leadership structures. Employees who escalate concerns are threatened by HR from speaking openly. Compensation is below market rate, and pay adjustments are infrequent or nonexistent, even as responsibilities increase or employees gain experience.
