Culture
Breaking with Tradition
People say we're different. We love that.
Just like Italy is famous for its pasta, India for its spices, Australia for its kangaroos and Japan for its Sushi, Phenomenex is famous for its extraordinarily brave and vibrant team with the ‘never say never' attitude.
We work hard and we play hard together
May it be traveling around the world presenting training seminars for our customers or fighting hard on the football field to score a goal, we give it our all. We take great care to balance hard work with humor in everything we do, including celebrating a successful new product release by launching a surprise water balloon attack on our president!
We want our employees to flourish. That's our culture. That's our way.
In today's world, it is rare to find a company who puts their employees first, and sees each individual as an integral part of the whole. Phenomenex takes time to ensure that every employee finds fulfillment and stimulation on a daily basis, and puts health and happiness at the top of the priorities list as it continues to grow and expand into the world market.
We Embrace Diversity
We believe that the “world is one”. Within these walls there exists no prejudice. We share the same spirit, energy and dedication in all our offices around the globe. Over 700 employees representing 45 different nationalities contribute to the rich and colorful culture of our company. This is what makes Phenomenex different. No doubt our celebrated culture can be attributed to the guidance and inspiration that comes trickling down from our unwavering and animated leadership. From our beginnings in 1982, our president has instilled precedents of working hard, sustaining a positive attitude, pushing forward with passion and urgency, and leading a balanced and rewarding life both in and out of the office.
Life is meant to be celebrated
As you walk down the warm, colorful hallways in any one of our offices you will be greeted by smiling faces in every department. Laughter can be heard echoing through the buildings, on the loudspeaker, out on the field, in the break rooms, the game room, and outside of the office in the evenings and on weekends. Needless to say, we take every opportunity and find every excuse we can to celebrate life, success, and the simple daily joys around us.
Giving back. It's part of who we are.
We are constantly finding ways to create hope and better our world. We look beyond our own front doors to see who, where, and when we can help, and truly understand how incredible it is to extend a helping hand and make a real difference. When it comes to giving back to the community and supporting numerous humanitarian causes, our PhenomeKnights are the first in line with the utmost humility.
