Pros

1. If you are a white old male, then this is the right company for you. 2. You will create good friendships in this company. Very fun people to work with.

Cons

1. No real senior leadership throughout both sites. 2. No company direction, surprised the company is still running (barely). 3. The only way of getting further ahead in your career within the company requires a lot of manipulation. 4. No communication flow and very dishonest company. We have company meetings where the updates are just more lies. 5. Very disorganised company. The extremely talented staff are consistently micro-managed and not given the chance to do the job they were hired to do. 6. Exceptional men and women from different works of life are consistently overlooked due to their subconscious biased to the demographic mentioned in this title.

Low point of my career

Pros

Most staff are highly competent and dedicated, despite poor salary and high responsibility.

Cons

Long working hours expected with no overtime payment or time back. Line managers have no training for the role - soft skills often lacking. Huge problem with nepotism. Lower lab staff are treated as worker bees with no professional development prospects. During my 3+ years at DNAe I felt extremely undervalued and frustrated, and since moving on have excelled in a company that recognises and rewards my work. Leaving was the best decision for my career and personal sense of worth.

Pros

You can quit if you want to!

Cons

Management are selfish, greedy and essentially useless! They take their wage and slowly dig the company into the ground. Development of junior staff is the last priority, technical excellence is a thing of mythology and a potentially brilliant technology is going to be lost to poor management and greedy leadership.
