Valuable learning but plagued by mismanagement - Scientist Xilis Employee Review

- Unlimited PTO - Employees are very respectful and professional. - Great support system from management. - Pay was very fair. - Flexible WFH and on-site schedule. - HR very supportive.

- High stress from immediate issues. - Startup doesn't have enough budget for specific items to make the job easier. - Layoffs due to a startup nature. - Insurance wasn't very good from United.

I strongly believe in our technology; I am convinced it will one day reach clinics and patients, transforming cancer care. Very smart, engaged, and mission-focused people. Low ego culture with a ton of autonomy to grow your career and skills. It's a great place for self-starters who can tolerate ambiguity. I've learned more here in a few years than I have in a decade working for larger corps.

It's a biotech start-up. Funding of U.S. biotech start-ups is a huge challenge these days, and Xilisis is not immune to this trend. There have been several leadership changes in a short time, which can make it difficult to maintain and cultivate the intended culture and momentum.
