Terrible place to work - Recensione dipendente - Scientist presso Aldevron

Aldevron is the kind of place that people right out of college come to work for and don’t know any better about how to be properly treated at a job. Management does not know how to solve problems or implement beneficial change, everyone is extremely catty to one another, and communication across teams is non existent (unless it is used to criticize). The “culture” that management talks about is hilarious because they love to say we have such great culture (aka free food occasionally), when that is a blanket statement that really means that employees don’t get paid enough and the benefits are Fargo-centric and do not cover a lot that people in Madison care about. If that’s not bad enough, advancement opportunities are focused towards people with a PhD rather than people with industry experience. Also, Aldevron has been avoiding workplace OSHA reportings after workers have been seriously injured. People involved were made to feel bad about their injuries even though they happened due to lack of management and safety measures. This made everyone nervous to talk about it in fear of losing their jobs. Overall, the “family” that we are told we are a part of is really just a disfuncional family that you want to be as far away from as possible. Don’t even bother applying here unless you only plan on staying for a few years.
