Pros

Bulk of employees are relatively nice. Upper management and C-suite are a different story.

Cons

I'll keep this short and sweet as my sentiment seems to be an emerging trend with recent reviews. It's clear where this company is headed and unless things change fast (which seems very unlikely based on how it's run) the future isn't very promising. 1)- The work environment is incredibly toxic. No understanding of work-life balance (especially if you work closely with the C-suite) with frequent weekend and late night asks. 2) Shady communication. Co-founders explicitly told the team there would be no more mass layoffs just a couple months before a mass layoff of about 1/3 of the entire company. The least transparent organization I have ever worked for. 3) Constantly changing business objectives and vision. It's clear that the public perception they are trying to paint doesn't align with what the company is able to produce and achieve. Theranos 2.0 in the making. 4) Little to no ability to advance career. Overall, if you are considering working for Solugen, I would steer very clear. Instead, look for a job that values your personal time, is transparent with staff, has a a clear vision of the future, and allows for growth.

Pros

A lot of hands-on engineering. Process optimization is taken seriously here. Smart and collaborative team where everyone shares knowledge. Management encourages creative thinking and problem-solving. Opportunities to grow into different roles and advance.

Cons

None really. I'm here for the long haul.

Pros

As a scientist, I really thought that I would get plenty of learning opportunities here. I was mistaken, as that didn't happen.

Cons

This job is the worst. The employers are horrible. They use fear of job loss as a tool and try to run their employees' lives. They won't let you take a break for 5 minutes. It's a mentally draining job with no time to relax your mind. I still remember that the work strain stressed my body terribly, and I dreaded going to work. The leadership didn't see how we suffered. They kept on pushing us to do more and more. Most people I knew reached burnout before they finally quit. I was lucky to get another offer before I reached that state. As the employees in all departments were overworked and underpaid, there were tons of communication gaps that added chaos to the daily work life. I could blame no one because everyone was drained due to the endless mental abuse.
