Sloppy science in a toxic work environment. - Anonymous employee Rejuvenate Bio Employee Review

great work environment and vision

Currently in pre-clinical phase but moving towards clinical trials

They have free food every Wednesday and have a wide selection of snacks available in the kitchen. Overall, the people are nice and smart individuals. Majority of the staff seem passionate about their research and sincerely want to contribute to the company’s mission and goals.

One of the most significant challenges was the apparent inexperience of the leadership team. It was clear that some key decision-makers lacked the necessary industry knowledge and expertise to navigate the complexities of the biotech industry effectively. Management played favorites and bonuses/raises/promotions were inconsistent and unfair. The company's financial instability was a major concern and unfortunately, it resulted in a series of layoffs. Leadership was also not as transparent as they could have been regarding our ongoing financial struggles. All-hands meetings gave a façade that everything was fine when it truly was not. There were a lot of questionable hires that did not make sense based on our pre-clinical phase. Furthermore, I was concerned about the laboratory standards that, at times, seemed non-existent. Management did not display an understanding of data integrity and this casted doubts on the reliability of our results. Proper PPE was often overlooked, putting the safety of employees at risk, which is simply unacceptable in a scientific setting.
