GenScript reviews about "working environment"

For non-Mandarin speakers, career progression here can feel like hitting a wall. Leadership is predominantly from mainland China, and as a result, most internal communication defaults to Mandarin, which is unexpected for a Singapore-based company. Non-Mandarin speaking employees often have to rely on mandarin speaking colleagues or in-app translation to stay informed, creating an uneven information flow. Responsibilities also appear to be distributed in ways that favor those who speak the language as they are able to communicate with the higher-ups. The higher-ups like to bring the work culture practices that are more common in China, which can translate to poor work-life balance and periods of overwhelming workload. This seems to contribute to a high turnover rate. Many employees, especially fresh graduates, leave within one to two years. Rather than addressing the root causes, the company appears to rely heavily on interns as a revolving-door stopgap. New hires are expected to be fully independent within a month of joining, which is an unrealistic standard. This expectation extends to interns as well, which can affect their grades.

There is nothing bad here

Like any growing company, there are still areas for improvement. Communication across teams and regions could sometimes be more streamlined, and processes may not always be fully standardized, which can occasionally lead to inefficiencies. In addition, as the company continues to expand rapidly, workload and priorities can shift quickly, requiring employees to stay flexible and adapt to changes. There may also be opportunities to further enhance career development pathways and internal communication to support long-term growth. Overall, these are common challenges in a fast-growing organization, and there is clear effort from leadership to continuously improve.
