Smart, lovely people on a sinking ship with no direction - Associate Scientist Metagenomi Employee Review

The science is pushing forward next-generation gene editing therapies. There are a lot of opportunities to work on a wide array of different projects and modalities. Lots of employee programs and good benefits.

The field is constantly changing and the company pivots quickly to adapt, which can feel disorienting. High level decisions can occur quickly and often times the rationale doesn't get communicated down the line.

Under Brian’s leadership, Metagenomi maintained a thoughtful balance between employee wellbeing and business priorities. While there were certainly challenges, there was a shared sense that we would navigate them together as a team. The approach emphasized operating lean and managing expenditures carefully, with the underlying philosophy that preserving jobs was more important than maintaining all benefits.

Under the new leadership. Everything changed when the fire nation attacked.
