Pros

Smallish team but good, hard-working people and interesting science. Very competitive pay, solid benefits, unlimited PTO, and a volunteer group that plans fun social events. Seems like people get promoted quickly. Lots of awards for staff who go above and beyond. 24/7 free food and drinks come in clutch if you stay late or come in during off-hours.

Cons

Need to hire more people to support existing workload and prepare for growth

Promising Beginning & Now Heading for a Freefall

Pros

The immediate folks you work with are kind and considerate. The culture club is fantastic. I thought the pay was fair and competitive.

Cons

Upper management is the biggest problem. They don’t answer questions directly and instead go on long tangential explanations that never circle back to the crux of the issue. Encodia hired very top heavy and grew too fast for where the company was. This was its largest downfall. When asked why the answer was subpar. Instead of hiring more hands in the lab, they kept hiring directors to manage dashboards and appease one another through often useless metrics.

Good people, oppressive culture

Pros

Smart employees who genuinely care about the mission and each other. Salary and benefits are decent for a small company.

Cons

Pervasive micromanagement from the executive level breeds an environment of finger-pointing and fear, without accepting responsibility for business results or culture. Lots of smart, hard-working people quitting or being fired. Employees, Managers, and Directors have no real authority to make decisions.
