Pros

The only pro really is the paid time off.

Cons

Repligen has a serious problem with employee burnout. They expect you to constantly push yourself with little support, which quickly drains your energy and motivation. Hard work doesn’t get you noticed or promoted—seems like the players that move up the ladder are the ones not doing much. If you’re looking for a place that values dedication and talent, this isn’t it. Repligen suffers from a toxic cycle of burnout and high turnover. When employees leave or are fired, their work is simply dumped on others without any additional support or compensation. Management seems more focused on meeting aggressive targets than recognizing or rewarding actual contributions. Promotions are rarely based on performance—more often, they go to those who play politics and say the right things, not the ones doing the hard work. If you're looking for a company that truly values its people, this isn’t the place.

Pros

Decent free food on holidays

Cons

-Got rid on quarterly bonus -Got rid of overtime -Employees who used to work M-F were forced switch to work rotation weekends (short notice) -Seniority and favoritism is HUGE -Management and HR don't reward loyalty no matter how long or how hard you've worked -"laid off" 10 or more people in order not to pay the yearly bonus - HR "investigations" lead nowhere, and are not taken serious. They take supervisors side even tho there's proof they're wrong. - Directors who tell employees to good rid of or hide materials from monthly cycle counts are rewarded with even higher positions.

Pros

-Free parking. -Free coffee. -Free bathrooms. -Used to be better.

Cons

-Not flexible at all. You have to clock in and out with a badge even for lunch breaks. - Leadership is for the most part, poorly selected and display no leadership skills. - Low pay that drives away people. - Understaffed due to previous point. - HR bluntly puts business over people. - Unsafe working environment caused by both, neglected equipment (leaking steam valves), and violent personnel. - Promotions are given based on politics and not merits. - Unqualified employees, for both management roles as well as manufacturing. (Probably because competent people are taken by better and more competent companies)
