Pros

Interesting product in the biotech Smart people Remote-first (within your country) Company Therapist to help you keep up with the high level of stress.

Cons

High level of stress by culture design. Speed is way overlooked and obsessed over. Uncertainty, passive aggressive management that talks nice but implies the opposite. Culture of putting tight deadlines to avoid and push people to run as fast as they can at all times. No care that such attitude and culture will lead eventually to burnout and as a consequence you will eventually slow down and they will start complaining about it until they will actively set you up to fail multiple times, will build a case against you while smiling and quietly get rid of the burnout one.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. I'm so sorry to hear that it doesn't sound like a positive one at all. We've heard feedback about creating a false sense of urgency and it's definitely something we're looking into. As an employer, we believe in investing in great talent and giving them the resources they need to succeed. However, we know that as a startup in hypergrowth, there are often things we need to move quickly on, which can make figuring out priorities a challenge. We're working on creating a better methodology around prioritization so that all team members have the right level of urgency in place for the right things. It definitely doesn't sound like we lived up to your or our expectations here. If you're open to it, we would love the opportunity to discuss your experience in more detail to see if there is any other actionable feedback we can take away from you.

Pros

- The mission, vision and products of the company are really impactful. - The onboarding process is very organized and informative. It might be a lot of content but they all add value. - The benefits are really good - The people are cooperative and very helpful - Transparency about everything that happens in the company

Cons

- It is a startup, so there is the expected amount of chaos that can happen every now and then among the organization and order of operations.

Pros

- Clear and well-defined problem. Allows the whole company to pull in a single direction. - A culture of transparency, humility and intellectual growth. - Lot of effort to engage employees through events, activities, talks, sports etc. - Very little hand holding - space to test ideas, innovate and grow your knowledge in your own professional area as well as science.

Cons

- Long hours - Rapid company growth issues
