Biological Dynamics Reviews

The three highly rated reviews written on Jan 30, the 1 review written on Feb 3, and the 1 review written on Feb 5 looks as if they were written by David (CTO) himself. The points in those reviews are very similar to the CTO's replies of the negative reviews. They completely contradict all of the other 1 star reviews that were posted by other legitimate employees. The negative reviews are accurate to my personal experience at this company. The CTO uses "start-up" experience as a reason or excuse for the negative reviews but all one has to ask is "When was this company started?" It is no longer a start up at 8 years and little to no profits. CTO is closed minded, inconsiderate, and condescending to those below him. His ego blinds him to better solutions from other employees. He and Raj must understand that a companies best asset is not its technology or its product, but is its employees. When your employees don't like their work environment, they will not work for the benefit of the company or the product. Employees go to work every day looking over their shoulder and looking for another job in case they have to leave BioDyn.

Great environment to share ideas in an open and professional environment. --This is simply not true at Biological Dynamics. Let me give you a few examples. (i) Depending on CTO's mood, he would shut down your ideas without any scientific ground. He once claimed that he did not believe in next-generation sequence but later on ate his own words. No matter how good of a scientist/engineer you are, he would not listen to you even with perfect data and facts. (ii) Biological Dynamics is far from being a professional environment. The CTO made a bunch of jokes based on races and sexes. He once said that I would be "lucky" to get lung cancer since there was drug developed for my ethnic group in a group meeting. Company rewards self-motivated individuals. -- This is not true. Biological Dynamics only award those who obey CEO's and CTO's orders. Those who truly contributed to the company were either laid-off or demoted. Company means tests all ideas and are open to dynamic change as long as the changes reflect the corporate goals related to technology and scientific development. Gives people responsibility and allows each voice to be heard. -- This is not true. Biological Dynamics changes their goals based on CEO's and CTO's moods. There is no scientific guideline. They just do what they feel like of the day. During my short stint there, they went back and forth at least 4-5 times for my projects. I would perform some experiments to achieve the goals they set for me. Once I achieved it, they would change the goals for me to do more experiments. Once I achieve their goals again, they would switch back to the original goals and dismissed all the works I did. This is extremely frustrating for a well-trained scientist. Most important of all, CTO and CEO lack fundamental understanding of science and thus cannot assess different technologies in a very dynamically evolving field. It took them a while to understand difference between DNA and RNA, and I am still not sure if they are well-informed of what NGS means.
