A good learning place for any junior-leveled person.

Pros

Some great people to work along side of. especially when you are working nights and weekends and 60+ hours a week. Super smart science. Could have great potential

Cons

Terrible C suite rude and obnoxious. Upper management on site out of touch with reality. Instituted a raise your hand policy then told to be quiet. when you do. Very unsafe environment, just waiting for a major incident. Head of Operations who oversees half of site is completely out of touch and unaware of what it takes to run operations.

Thank you for sharing your perspective. We appreciate your recognition of the talented colleagues you’ve worked alongside and your acknowledgment of the importance of the science being done, but we can’t ignore the concerns you’ve raised, particularly around safety. As a current employee, we strongly encourage you to raise these concerns through the appropriate internal channels, including HR or site leadership. There are both direct and anonymous avenues available, which is the most effective way for these issues to be reviewed and addressed. Maintaining a safe, respectful, and sustainable work environment is a priority, and feedback like this is most impactful when it can be acted on directly.
