My hiring experience at Repligen was smooth and efficient. They expressed genuine interest in me and offered a competitive hiring package, attractive benefits, and PTO. However, the clarity around my job description was lacking. Expectations frequently shifted, and while I was open to taking on various tasks, my job description was ultimately changed without a corresponding title update.

Communication from my manager was infrequent, which left me feeling undervalued and like a cog in a machine. There needed to be more focus on my professional development, and I often struggled to find meaningful work. When I attempted to take initiative, my ideas were only sometimes welcomed, which was disheartening.

During my time at Repligen, I became pregnant. Shortly after that, the company underwent a 5% workforce reduction, and it’s likely that my position was affected. Although my layoff occurred two weeks after I returned from maternity leave, it felt unjust, especially given that my performance had not affected the decision. My previous manager was unwilling to act as a reference, which disappointed me. Instead of enjoying precious time with my family, I was thrust into a job search during an incredibly challenging period.

While I appreciated the camaraderie with my coworkers, I left Repligen feeling that my experience could have contributed more to my career growth. Overall, my time there was marked by missed opportunities for development and support.

If management don’t like you they will be moving you around until you quit. The work conditions are not the best, you will be working in small rooms with no ventilation, you will be feeling very hot, smelling all kinds of chemicals and lots of alcohol and they won’t provide equipment to filter the air. You can complain to management about the work conditions, but they won’t listen to you. They won’t even let you sit, even if you have a medical condition that requires you to take small breaks. Supervisors just point fingers to people they don’t like, you can be working the hardest you can, but if they don’t like you they will treat you like trash. The only good thing about this company is that employees are very nice and they will make you feel welcomed. Other than that I do not recommend for people to work in this company, at least in the manufacturing area unless they change corrupt supervisors and managers.

If this was 2021, I would've given the company five stars. Back then, they were amazing, as was the culture and atmosphere. People were awesome, work was great, just an overall awesome place to work.

Since then though, practically everything has gone downhill. The culture of the company has shifted dramatically. Lots of pressure from upper management, new HR policies that make life worse for the TM's, practically all the perks that used to LEGITIMATELY show appreciation for the team members were taken away. Basically a total 180 from what it used to be.

All the supervisors are stressed out, all the team members are stressed out, the "talk of the town" is aways how people want to quit, no-one feels appreciated, people keep getting laid off, and all the while the only thing the "higher ups" seem to care about is pushing production and making money. And they wonder why Quality has gone down. Go figure.

It was regularly unsafe, unfriendly, and unorganized. Not disorganized, this place seems to have never worked smoothly. The leads are incompetent and have difficulty understanding daily concerns are the result of their actions and lack of ability. The pay is disheartening. The hours are brutal and regularly trended toward 90 hour weeks. The conditions on several occasions could have resulted in serious injury or worse, to seemingly no improvement or investigation into the conditions.
I can say without hesitation that nobody should work here. For those that work there now, I am sorry, and I hope you find a better job soon that respects you as a person.
Best of luck

I learned a lot in my time here, but unfortunately some of it was learning about how snake like people can be. My direct manager and department head were fantastic to work with, as were my coworkers. The workload is insane both in the labs and in admin. Finance is a rotating door and HR feels conniving outside of recruiting and compensation management, though comp is all over the board and you have to advocate for yourself, especially for engineering and scientific staff. I’m very sad management doesn’t see the value in individual contributors. Employees were pushed out after taking sick leave and pregnancy leave. Some employees were pushed out due to age. Glad I got out when I did. Would not recommend to my worst enemy.

I was brought to Repligen as Associate Director of Quality through an executive search.  This was not an easy choice to leave Pharmalucence for Repligen.  It was something I needed to try.  I made a lot of good improvements in my groups (QC Analytical Chemistry, QC Microbiology and QA Documentation).  It was a difficult decision to leave with so many great people there.  The company is growing and going through growing pains with resources vs. production.   I left on good terms but decided I would continue to consult and teach at the college while looking to find a good life/work balance
