Compugen Inc

My team and manager were always very supportive and great to work with. There was no micromanaging or "eye on you" type of deal from my higher-ups.

Flex schedule meant you set your own hours  through out the day as long as you cover all your meetings and get your work done. So if there were appointments or important things you had to get done, as long as you notify your manager and cover your hours before the end of the week you were all good.

However the workload most of the time was VERY HEAVY, long hours and our supervisors and managers always had a hard time getting the department additional help and resources, and we all know they even took on the additional work on to their plate. 

Most of the staff from various departments are easy to work with, but  as a highly service oriented organization especially with the procurement of various types of device & deployment of services, as a Coordinator / Planner you will be dealing with a lot of moving parts and various departments and people. So like most places you need to ensure you "COVER YOUR BASES" and make  sure it is "CLEAR" or else for some irrational reason people from various departments will be quick to point the finger at you, especially "behind your back". This was one of the first bit of advice I got from many people when I started, which I prioritized out of fear, but never really had many instances of  it(just a couple occurrences  when I decided to leave) because of my careful approach, but woah... I've heard quite a few stories especially of new hires who were just doing their job but get wrongly labelled / accused.

The pay is probably also below and beneath industry standards considering the amount  a work a Project Coordinator / Planner had to do, who were basically Project Managers for various customers.

The comfort of the schedule, work from home / hybrid policy and the Richmond Hill office are small benefits that may make you overstay your time at Compugen, however best to gain as much experience and go else where they will pay you a lot better for the same work or even less work than you do at Compugen.

I spent  two years at Compugen as a Business Development Representative, and it’s been a very strong experience overall.
What stood out most is the level of exposure you get early on. You’re not just booking meetings — you’re actively engaging in conversations around cloud, cybersecurity, infrastructure, and end-user computing. Over time, I found myself going beyond initial outreach and contributing to more meaningful discovery conversations, which helped me develop a much deeper understanding of client needs and buying cycles.
The environment rewards initiative. The more ownership you take, the more opportunities you’re given to grow. I was able to refine my approach, improve how I position value, and think more strategically about how to open and progress opportunities rather than just generate activity.
The collaboration across teams is another strong point. Working alongside account executives and technical resources gave me insight into how larger deals are shaped and executed, which added a lot to my development. Access to key partners like HP and Microsoft also brings a level of credibility that helps drive more productive conversations.

It’s definitely a performance-driven role, and consistency matters. But for someone looking to build real sales discipline, expand their skillset, and take on more responsibility over time, it’s a great environment to do that.
Overall, Compugen gave me a solid foundation and the opportunity to grow beyond the core expectations of the role.
Pros: Strong development environment, exposure to full sales cycle thinking, collaborative teams, reputable vendor ecosystem
Cons: Fast-paced and target-driven, requires a high level of personal accountability

Compugen, from an IT technician's point of view, is best used as an introduction to the industry. It lacks nearly any sense of company culture from the IT service management point of view.

Early during my employment we did have multiple meetings and culture nurturing efforts but this steadily declined while the workload steadily climbed. I compare this to my experience in related companies including Dell where I may have liked the work less but the support and respect I felt from the company was far greater.

The industry practice of back filling positions with new hires that have little to no IT experience is the staple with Compugen. Our team's technical leadership all but vanished by the end of my term and experienced technicians like myself were left with a team insufficiently trained to support important clients like the Government of Alberta. I was provided no time to train new hires due to my own service load and was forced to work along side employees who lacked any post-secondary IT training. I consider this a failure at the management and HR levels.

Opportunities for work on several contracts were available with optional project work. Technician work balance was decent but low level management was often required to do reporting well into their off hours and even at night.

If you wish to gain experience in the field of IT perhaps look into Compugen but I suggest avoiding them as a career path into the future.

Its the cheapest company I've ever seen in my whole life. They don't treat their employees fairly. Each employee is paid different wages even though they are in the same role. The day you are hired, they tell you that please keep your salary information confidential. It's because they don't wanna pay the same to everyone. Compugen always focuses on their customers. They want you to keep their customers happy. How do I make your customers happy if you guys don't make me happy. Compugen must take care of their employees and the employees will take care of their customers. Work with compugen only to gain experience. This is the worst company I've ever work with. I quit compugen like 2.5 years ago and I am still very mad on them, the way they treated me. I was hired by two companies, first ISM and second Compugen. and I wasn't sure which company is good, which company should I go for. and I mistakenly chose Compugen because I didn't see any review to tell me how it looks like. But now I am telling you if you have a choice to work with another company please go for it. Compugen is worthless who takes advantage of you with less money and too much stress. you get no credit for all the praises you get from customers. I got hundreds of positive feedbacks from customers, but I didn't get anything back, not even a thank you from my boss. There are too many bad things about this company if I keep explaining it will take me forever to finish. Just make it short. Do not work for this company.

I cannot recommend this organization as a good place to work. It is entirely focused on revenue and profits, and it needs to undergo significant changes to its management style and priorities if it is to thrive in today's competitive marketplace.
During my time with Compugen, I had an utterly terrible experience. The management was characterized by a staggering lack of professionalism and organization. Additionally, the absence of effective communication between upper management and lower-level employees led to pervasive confusion and misunderstandings. The work culture was toxic and insidious. Distrust and petty office politics were pervasive, and the company's management took no meaningful steps to address or mitigate them. There was also an environment in which employees were quick to throw each other under the bus instead of working collaboratively to resolve issues. This company was clearly focused only on its bottom line, prioritizing revenue and profits over employee welfare or satisfaction. There was little in the way of motivation, with few opportunities for career development or advancement. Rather than empowering its employees, the company created a competitive and cut-throat environment in which individuals worked against each other rather than together. Compensation was inadequate, with employees frequently working long hours without appropriate compensation. The company's management showed little concern for employee satisfaction or welfare, further compounding the challenges facing the workforce.

This employment adventure began with a great deal of promise and with an absolutely exceptional manager - a lady that is truly one of a kind with true leadership skills - ability to listen, ability to address concerns quickly and fairly and who set a positive example for the team. She also trusted in the capabilities of each team member without micromanagement. Her departure from the company left a huge hole in the team and this affected the morale of the team. 

The abysmal failure of the management to replace her and to provide competent and conscious guidance in the period after that led to the eventual collapse of the team - people resigned to move on to better positions and others were fired. 

If one desires a place where you are promised good pay and professional advancement while working yourself to a frazzle without ever seeing it happen - come and work here. You will see your professional dreams evaporate. Every person in the team was promised not only good pay but more importantly  - the opportunity to grow. This simply did not happen. 

What did I learn? That this is a company where good employees go to waste, where communication is insincere, is scrambled as a broken radio and where an individual team member is as valuable as toilet paper. 


A BIG disappointment.

Compugen is frankly, a grinder of a company with LOADs of politics behind the scenes. Frankly the agendas of individuals get in the way of the company achieving it's objective. They do seem to deliver for their customers, but they take the hard way to doing it, and it's been this way for YEARS (I've been in and out of the company in several roles for several years.

Management feels like it's actively working against you, instead of supporting you and working with you at the first sign of trouble. I've observed it in others several times in several departments - this mentality flows down from executive leadership right on down. People both directly and indirectly being set up to fail, and then run over and thrown away when they do.

Do what you're going to do, but consider yourself warned. The company is growing, and is capable of good work, but your experience will depend on your department, client, co-workers and management team, like many other companies.

This company is an excellent starting point for anyone looking to enter the industry and build a solid professional foundation. As a junior employee, you will find a welcoming environment that allows you to learn the ropes, develop fundamental skills, and gain valuable resume experience. The initial training is quite helpful, and the daily tasks provide a great introduction to the field. It is a fantastic stepping stone for recent graduates or individuals transitioning into a completely new career path. However, the future career prospects are severely lacking. Once you have mastered your initial role, you will quickly realize that there is almost no room for upward mobility. The organizational structure is extremely flat, and meaningful promotions are exceptionally rare. Leadership positions are rarely vacated, meaning that career progression effectively stalls after your first few years. If you are truly ambitious and seeking continuous professional growth, you must look elsewhere.

They don't like to give time off, most people don't have a true backup to cover them when off. Low pay, 2 raises given in 8 years of employment.

It seems as if they are trying to push out the full-time employees and replace them with contract employees.

their contract employees have no job security or benefits. I know contract employees who have gone to work not knowing if they would have a job the next day. That's no way to live or treat your employees.

They used to have lots of employee appreciation events, and bonuses. The last few years they have been eliminated. They don't appreciate when employess go above and beyond for them. They request overtime work, but its like pulling teeth when you want to get paid for it. A lot of times they would ask you to work OT, and when you expect to get paid for it they give you vacation time in lieu. Then they don't document that you worked X amount of hours. So when its time to use you accrued time in lieu hours. Its up to you to prove that you earned it.

No respect for employees time.

So mostly the company was pretty good. Except a couple of months into my employment, my manager became really sick and no one really stepped into his role. 

Which left me at the mercy of project managers, unsure of when my next project was. 

Also this company behaves like an abused girlfriend. By that I mean it takes problematic clients and does everything possible to please them, even at their own expense. 

Job security, at least as a contract employee was apparently not a thing. I received nothing but praise for every performance review, and yet in the middle of a project I was let go, there was no warning signs at all. 

They also seem to be in the middle of a culture shift, a lot of people have been let go recently, and last I heard no one was replaced. I would maybe give this company a miss until they sort out the culture shock they are going through.
