Frontage Laboratories reviews

Grossly underpaid. I was told the salary cannot be negotiated, regardless of my experience. Poor training experience, as managers/scientists are not trained on how to train. Many topics were not covered, leading to mistakes that were easily avoidable had they been trained on and were a massive headache to fix (this experience is not unique, each person in this role has been led astray on numerous tests). Most higher-ups make no effort to get to know new employees or help them feel welcome (a couple of the big names will acknowledge you over email, then never say a word again.) A lot of safety precautions are not followed, despite repeated reminders (it's mostly just a few people, you'll figure that out pretty quickly watching behavior in the lab.) Not very diverse (having a majority of Asians is no different than an office of majority whites, as there are very few African Americans / Latinx / other minorities employed here). The office is very loud, difficult to get work done, as many people will have loud, non-work related conversations right next to the desks. There are no remote work opportunities in this role. The company still operates entirely with paper documentation instead of electronic, regardless of what they say during your interview process, and this technology is still over a year away from Frontage for even the most basic processes.
