Pros
There are many experienced and collaborative people at BioLegend who you can learn from. Company's growing and collaborating with other branches of Ravvity to modernize. Some managers are very hands-off that they'd allow you space to learn and work independently. Great place to learn and start out in the industry. Free fruits and Kombucha.
Kontras
Don't be a high performer, aka a tall daisy, at BioLegend because there are some gangs of toxic people who will try to cut you down to make themselves look better. If you plan to be a tall daisy, take extra precaution. Most are nice and hardworking people and don't like to insert themselves into other people's business. But there are several gangs of gossipers who'd like to take very long breaks to spread dangerous rumors about others, especially the tall daisies. Even if you never interact with them and they don't know a single thing about you, they will search for a littlest thing you do, then turn that into a huge issue. They will spread rumors, distort the truth, and delete context. In your first few weeks at BL, pay extra attention to identify gossipers, people with gang-like behavior, and fiction writers. Take extra precaution when you achieve something (products release, process improvement, business deals....). Do not confront the gossipers directly because they're very good at playing victims. Needless to say, do not tell them anything about yourself. Many people in the management are aware of this issue but they just want to look away. No one wants to fix the culture at BioLegend.
