Norgen Biotek

Norgen Biotek does not care about qualifications when hiring for management positions. They often hire random individuals to run departments, regardless of their experience or suitability for the role. This practice results in unqualified managers making poor decisions, which negatively impact the entire team.

Management creates unrealistic goals which set without considering the practicalities of achieving them. Management lacks the necessary skills and experience in their roles, which leads them to set unattainable targets for the sales team. This creates a disorganized environment where employees are constantly moved around without clear instructions or support.

They always choose family or favored individuals who are unqualified to lead. Nepotism is rampant, so don't even bother trying being promoted. Even the VP and various other "management" members are only there because they are family.

Stay away from any sales or marketing position they offer at this company.

If you love to be underpaid, overworked, micromanaged and under leadership that has no clue what they're doing well this is the right place for you. No only does it not offer anything competitive to the market (no remote work etc) they are also LGBTQ+ exclusive and are explicitly told not to be internally or externally inclusive.

The owner is an absolutely amazing person and tries his best to get everything done well, the VP and other management on the other hand are not.

No matter how well you do here you will ALWAYS lose to the nepotism at hand here and will never be up for promotion when up against a family member who has no qualifications.

If by chance you do end up taking a job here do not get too comfortable, they regularly make it a habit of randomly firing individuals for no reason and make it seem like you were the issue when there is no growth or direction here so they take it out on you to pad their salaries. Have COVID? No worries, there's a really good chance they'll fire you for taking sick days.  

There is no typical day at Norgen Biotek Corp, one day you are a sales representative and the next day you are in manufacturing, and then back to sales the next. There is no clear objectives other than "sell this much" which would be fine if you could actually focus on selling everyday.  Also, the company does not provide any sense of direction or give you the time or tools you need to be successful. 

There are some good people who work there who are friendly and helpful and a few good managers that are good at their job. For the rest there is a lot of micro management, unclear roles and tasks, random meetings with the CEO, and questionable ethics regarding employee treatment & customer service. 

If you are someone that can set aside their morals and forget about ethics Norgen may be a good fit, however I would never recommend working at Norgen Biotek Corp to anyone.

If you have any self respect for yourself then do NOT apply here. You will get many empty promises, yelled at to do work without direction and then be let go without any warning because you cannot follow what they didn't tell you.

Management works like a bunch of children that have an idea in their head and act on it without even thinking about how to do it or the consequences of doing things. There is no direction and when you try to ask questions about things you're basically told to go figure it out yourself.

Do not expect to ever get a promotion here, they will always choose family or someone that they like who is very unqualified to lead. Nepotism rules here so don't even bother. Even the VP and various other "management" are only here because they are family.

Worked at this company over the summer for a co-op position and enjoyed every minute of it. The team environment is unlike any place I've been before and the warmth of each individual there makes it feel like a family. the pace is fast but not stressful at all. Management was incredibly understanding in terms of mental health issues that cropped up over the summer. Only downside is that because over the summer there were so many other co op students sometimes there would be lulls in my work flow... Other than that a great company to work for

The company is owned by arrogant family who will lay you off as soon as they need to make space for a family friend or relative that wants to work there. Only one other person was hired based on merit and they expect you to follow rules they haven't talked about yet. Expect to be told one thing in meetings and whole management change the next day of work. Expect them to tell you you're doing great then lay you off the next day.

The CEO is supportive and genuinely cares about the team, always open to hear feedback and check up on us. If you have a positive attitude, there are a lot of opportunities to learn and grow. The manager is also knowledgeable and easy to approach. The envrionment has been more friendly and encouraging since the leadership changes. 

Working at Norgen Biotek has been an enriching experience defined by a culture of innovation and excellence. Norgen Biotek's commitment to advancing molecular biology is evident in its cutting-edge technologies for RNA, DNA, and protein purification. The collaborative atmosphere has enabled me to actively contribute to impactful projects alongside a talented team.


As a summer intern, I was placed in three sections of the company; manufacturing, laboratory and product management.  Throughout my many weeks there, I enjoyed all three aspects of the company. 

Through my incredible intern position, I discovered that I wanted to pursue a career in science.

Great opportunity.

Don’t work here if you have any respect for yourself because they clearly don’t. There is a culture of hiring just to fire people within the probation period even if you are doing your job right and doing everything you can without being trained at all.
