Colossal Biosciences Reviews

It's weird and chaotic. They randomly lay people off with no reason given. More than half the men who work there are openly gay, so they are clearly violating EEOC guidelines. Their PR team works hard to make them appear like a juggernaut. They truly do not know what they are doing. Genotype doesn't necessarily equal phenotype. They are rushing headlong into getting a species out, consequences be damned. They will kill a lot of embryos that aren't what they intended. They will have to, and that, like their hiring practices, will come under scrutiny.

Management: 2/5- Too many managers, not enough employees to run experiments. Wholly depends on what team you are on, but some teams are unorganized and managers will ask to run experiments which are not fully thought out. Management seems scatter-brained at times and changes direction from minute to minute. Work/Life Balance: 2/5- It is nice to have unlimited PTO, however its hard to find time to take off. Some employees feels compelled to not take PTO in fear of letting down their projects and for the cell biologists they are working 24/7 and find it difficult to find someone to take care of cells when they are out. Using personal phone for work :1/5- Would like to have a work phone separate from personal because it is hard at times to disconnect when all your work emails, text messages, and chats are on your personal phone. Sometimes too in the lab there is a need to take photos for documentation and I would rather not have to deal with the liability of having proprietary information on my personal phone.
