Pros
Exposure to the Bio-IT industry with opportunities to learn terminology and client projects
Small company structure can allow for collaboration across teams
Some team members are knowledgeable and technically strong
Cons
Management at both the middle and upper levels appeared unprepared to hire for entry-level or junior roles, with unrealistic expectations and limited willingness to train or mentor.
Leadership did not align with the company’s stated values of being a close-knit, team-oriented, people-first organization.
Little to no constructive feedback, proactive coaching, or professional development was provided. Feedback was consistently negative or vague rather than actionable.
Requests for guidance or clarification were often met with criticism instead of support. Work was frequently taken over rather than explained.
Communication was often passive-aggressive, with an expectation to infer direction instead of being given clear instructions.
Performance tracking and reporting lacked transparency and accuracy, and was later used without collaborative review.
