Pros

The teams are great. Very open and friendly environment and an exciting pipeline.

Cons

The CEO has to sign off on everything that VP’s should have ownership on. This delays things getting done and difficult to meet deadlines. Departments don’t collaborate well, so many employees are left in the dark. The company isn’t open to change or new ideas; very stagnant culture where voices aren’t heard. Employees don’t feel valued, especially since there hasn’t been HR leadership in a year. Meanwhile there are 13 VP’s in a 250 person company. Top heavy, but employee development and growth are nonexistent. Additionally, amidst the COVID-19 outbreak where headquarters are (Seattle), leadership has not encouraged employees who can work from home to do so; putting employees and their families at risk. This sends the message the company does not care about its employees health and well-being. I’m very disappointed by this blatant lack of awareness.

Pros

Company culture is amazing. You truly feel like you’re part of a family than just an employee. Leadership is very engaged and you never feel like you’re just a cog in the machine. Pay and benefits are competitive, especially for the size of the company. Your coworkers are experts in their field and you can always count on them to meet deliverables. Even still being quite new I feel like I really have a voice in the company and my opinion is valued. I usually don’t take the time to review companies like this, but actually felt the need to because of how great it is working here. It’s not just me either, I’ve even spoken to a few former employees I know that had left Omeros and even they had nothing but positive things to say. Highly recommend Omeros. You truly feel the energy that the company is truly about helping patients with rare diseases. The CEO is an MD and it truly shows that his number one priority is the patients. I hope the culture stays the same overtime as we grow!

Cons

401k match could be a little better in comparison to other players in the industry, however, Omeros does make up for that in a lot of other ways like covering 100% of your medical, dental l, etc premiums. It’s a small company so if you’re someone who just wants to hide in the shadows, this may not be the place for you.
