Pros

It's hard to think of any pros for this company. There are a few genuinely nice people to work with, but that's about it.

Cons

Salary- Biotech companies should being pay more than academic places. Not the case. And they lure you in promising of bonuses and raises. The once a year measly Christmas bonus and 2% raise aren't worth the daily stress this place puts on all of its employees. They think that buying people a hat or jacket with the name EpiVax on it makes up for lack of funds and increases morale. Quite the opposite, it's degrading to say job well done, and here's a hat for your trouble. And let's not forget the CEO's frequent first class trips, the unnecessary parties, etc. All of that money could be spent on employees instead! Badgering employees- The owner is mean, period. She talks down to nearly every single employee at one point or another. Those who work tirelessly behind the front lines are ridiculed for silly little things instead of praised for all of the work they do. And those who do nothing get patted on the back.

Pros

I enjoy working at EpiVax. I have a great team and I like the small business culture. Some of the most loved benefits are the WFH policy and summer hours. Don't let old reviews sway you, management has worked hard to lower its turnover rate and offer a benefits package competitive to Boston. They understand that recruiting and retaining talent requires an investment in their employees well-being. And we appreciate that! Some of the benefits: Remote/WFH two days a week Summer hours (half day Fridays during summer) Maternity leave Tuition Reimbursement Program 401k Matching/Profit Sharing Dog Friendly Kitchen Snacks/Coffee 200 PTO Hours (at three years) and 12 Holidays per Year Every 5 Years Sabbatical Week 70% Health Insurance/60% Dental Insurance Coverage Donation Matching

Cons

It's a small company so sometimes you have to be flexible with your roles and offer coverage in other areas. Not necessarly a con though! With clients across the globe, sometimes work is outside normal business hours.
