Pros

Coworkers. I worked with some of the smartest, most dedicated engineers, scientists, and technicians that I have ever met. I was truly sad whenever one of them left and when I left. I believed in the work I was doing and the product was so unique that I was excited to talk about it with other people.

Cons

The COO controls the company and if you didn’t work at P&G with him before, he won’t listen to you. He pushes out any engineer or scientist who challenges his opinions or showed him data he didn’t like. He sacrificed any chance of long term success for the company by completely gutting the R&D team.

MycoWorks Response

Thank you for your review. We value feedback and take action on what we hear from both our current and former employees. As MycoWorks continues to grow and expand its locations, we constantly aim to strengthen our leadership team and our communications with all employees. Your experience at MycoWorks sounds unfortunate, as it seems you really enjoyed your team here. We did experience a challenging period with our R&D team as we sought the right leadership, as well as the right work environment. Although our annual survey results were above and beyond our highest benchmarks, we did hear from some employees who had lost trust with leadership in the midst of these changes. We regret this, and have taken action to address these areas of growth for the company. We now have a hands-on, forward-looking VP of R&D and a fully resourced location for this team. We have learned some hard lessons on how to manage change while scaling the company, and we have stepped up how we communicate change to all teams. Today, we are continuing to ensure our long term success with a remarkable and passionate team of collaborators. We thank you for your work here and we wish you the best in your next work experience.
