Don't have proper planning for product sales - Software Engineer Eagle Genomics Employee Review

Colleagues are amazing people to work with. The Company and Its Senior Leadership Team have strong values, we are positioning ourselves to serve the Generative Economy. The product we are building has amazing potential and we are working to become the leader in an emerging field.

We are a rapidly growing organization that has more than doubled in size within the last year. With that rapid growth comes some growing pains that are still being worked through.

Some good people hoping to make a difference.

The company went through an undercover coup at the end of last year that was handled very poorly (and was ethically questionable on many fronts). All sizeable business shifts are hard, but this one was fairly amateur - almost comical at times if it weren't for the fact that they were toying with people's livelihoods (a clear marker of the new leadership's inexperience). The new CEO is an inept and ineffective leader with connections who - prior to her new role - was an inept and ineffective commercial consultant to the business with connections (…picture company-wide gasps and disbelief when her sudden appointment was announced). She subsequently surrounded herself with a relatively unqualified leadership team - some of whom I am sure have the best intentions; but I remain wholly unconvinced of their ability and suitability. The CEO also has a peculiar obsession with Cambridge, and an unwavering belief that filling the gaps with random Cambridge recruits will make up for her mediocrity. Besides the lack of inspiring leadership, sadly the business now also lacks any exciting vision - one of the main reasons many of us chose to work there. And I suspect it is destined for failure or just-below-average at best.
