      Sales Interview

      29 Jun 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Newark, NJ
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through other source. I interviewed at GenScript (Newark, NJ)

      Interview

      I was asked to take an UBER from the airport to the office, and waited for an hour and a half in the lobby before I was greeted. The exterior of the building was not professional, ripped awning and a crumpled note taped to the door. Old broken microwave piled in corner. After a presentation, the five interviewers would barrage me with questions and try and impress their manager with complicated technical questions that had nothing to do with the position. It wasn't until the middle of the interview that I was told that the company model is to contract research from the US to cheaper workers in China. They then offered me 1/3 of my asking salary and said I would have to live for the first two months at a hotel next to the office working 12+ hours a day because of the time difference in China. I then had to wait for five hours at the airport until my plane was scheduled to leave. I've read reviews about "opportunities" for inexperienced scientists, but this company is not designed to help out its employees, it exists to reduce the US workforce for cost savings. They have no innovation and rely solely on reducing costs. Not a philosophy I want to be a part of.

      Question 1

      When does a suspect become a prospect? What would you say to a potential customer of CRIPR if they showed you a quote from a competitor with a lower price?

      noticed this is probably a review posted to wrong company, we are not in Newark, and the description of the building, the work environment or the work hours surely does not match.

      Application

      I interviewed at GenScript

      Interview

      Be prepared to get technical and show knowledge of the market. Sales goals too ambitious, prepare questions and do your homework as to accept offer or not if you pass the interview.
