Pros
a startup biotech that encouraged personal growth for first time industry experience Sometimes there would be an occasional pizza party and social events in pre-pandemic times A lot of promising scientific programs with many side programs Company shutdown week, end of December You learn a lot of good science Some good people at the company who care a lot about you as an individual
Cons
Management loves to micromanage and it is becoming more demanding with weekly meetings/updates Work culture: no culture, just work...no work/life balance...work weekends and holidays when needed Sub-par benefit package Treated not as a human by upper management but as a piece of equipment for generating data High turnover rates... One essential worker works 3 job descriptions. Scientists work on several other programs and there is high pressure to meet deadlines Lack of empathy for employees...lack of COVID-19 safety protocols in the beginning of the pandemic Lack of professionalism from certain employees
