Lucence

Pros: The team is super smart and dedicated to molecular diagnostics. As a Clinical Lab Scientist, I got hands-on experience with cutting-edge genomic sequencing. It's a great place for career growth if you're early in your biotech journey.
Cons: The company culture can be really demanding. Work-life balance for onsite work isn't always great, and expectations are high. Communication from leadership sometimes feels a bit ad-hoc, which can be frustrating.
Advice to Management: Focus more on consistent communication across all teams. Also, consider ways to support better work-life balance for those in critical lab roles.

Pros: You learn a lot about genomics and new biotech tools quickly. The team support in the Singapore office is generally solid, and you're always working with cutting-edge technology.
Cons: Work flexibility is almost nonexistent for lab-based Research Associate roles. It's all onsite, so WFH options just aren't a thing, which makes balancing personal life tough sometimes. The startup environment means long hours are common.
Advice to Management: Consider how to offer even small bits of flexibility for lab staff. Maybe staggered shifts or designated admin days that can be done remotely could really boost morale for the research teams.
