Pros

- Getting to work with highly intelligent, driven, and dedicated research professionals across multiple departments in the pursuit of producing research grade cell culture products - A collaborative working environment with great camaraderie pre-COVID

Cons

Well, well, well… It appears karma is a cruel wench with a wicked sense of humour. When I worked at STEMCELL, the pay was below average compared to other biotech companies. I was fired from my position for refusing to comply with the “safe and effective” injection mandates that ironically had no scientific reasoning or logic behind them whatsoever. Look how the tables have turned! The decline of a company that started out with the noble mission of helping scientists advance their research endeavours in a few short years has been stunning to watch. It would be hilarious if it weren’t for the fact that there are innocent families behind STEMCELL’s workforce who depend on the paycheques to keep themselves afloat. I suppose when you have sold your soul to the Canadian banking system it becomes remarkably easy to renounce the “company values” you supposedly stood for, doesn’t it?

Pros

Good quality products. Dedicated individual contributors, intelligent colleagues.

Cons

Living in a bubble. They still think they are in the 90s. The thinking is painstakingly slow. Senior management including VPs and senior VPs are extremely inbred in their thinking. They are all perfectly aligned in completely wrong direction. They do the bare minimum and some cannot even hold a decent intellectual conversation. There is a ton of favoritism and only yes men get promoted so everyone is ‘aligned’. If you want to do mundane level thinking and kill your creativity and innovative spirit join this company. It has gotten worse in the last few years. Those currently there are dying to leave but just hanging by the last thread just because the current market is so tight that there is nowhere to go. The senior execs are there for 15-20 years no because they are loyal but because they know they cannot find any other employer who would tolerate their slow thinking.
