Pros

The pay was one of the nicest aspects of working for this company. I received excellent compensation and always felt that my work was valued.

Cons

The CEO was know for being an egoistic with a restricted mindset. His inflexibility and unwillingness to consider alternative perspective were eroding the company's ability to adapt to changing market conditions. Despite repeated attempst from employees to offer new ideas, he remained entrenched in his own opinions and refused to budge from his established ways of doing things. This reluctance to embrace change was hindering the company's growth and causing frustration among employees who felt their voices were not being heard. Unless the CEO became more open to new ideas and ways of doing things, the company's future success would remain in jeopardy.

Pros

Conagen has been a wonderful company starting out. Several things worth pointing out are within the overall atmosphere. Since Conagen is a small business, it allows the management team to easily help everyone get acquainted with the overall job feel. My colleagues have been wonderful helping me get setup in my developer area. Conagen does fun and interesting things such as having a large celebration once a month for all employees with birthdays that month. All expectations were made clear throughout the entire process. I look forward to making a full career at Conagen by achieving the expectations placed in front of me.

Cons

Conagen’s hiring process was wonderful and easily streamlined, but a bit intermittent. Conagen is growing, so it is a bit tight.
