Engaged in interesting, diverse, and impactful projects Collaborated with a highly talented, intelligent team that accelerated my professional development Fast-tracked growth opportunities, including taking immediate ownership of projects and managing initiatives that would typically take years to achieve elsewhere

Long hours in the lab High demands and expectations from leadership

- Many talented and skilled research staff to work with and learn from.

- No scientific leadership. Management are mostly non-scientists, but also tend to micromanage projects, which is a terrible combination. Upper management have no understanding of what's scientifically reasonable and have a tendency of jumping on projects based on buzzwords. - Work hours are 9am-7pm, encouraging presence over efficiency. - Wet lab is highly disorganized, with one lab manager holding the fort for too many researchers. The parent company ODDITY is rather large, publicly traded and has a good revenue stream, yet Labs are still run inside a startup incubator, contributing to the lack of organization and limiting what can be achieved. - Turnover is pretty bad, likely owing to all of the above. Many highly experienced scientists with a decade+ of experience were hired after layoffs in other places, but given lower titles and pay, and will likely leave as soon as they can.
