Pros

Cool product ideas focused on an emerging market. Great swag including t-shirts and outerwear.

Cons

Despite having cool products, there is a massive disconnect between senior management and everyone beneath. Timelines are unrealistic, product development resources are stretched increasingly thin, and budget is lacking. This hampers the development process and causes morale to plummet. Unchained Labs is very quick to fire and trim anyone they deem excess without regards to what that can do to teams, resources, and morale. This leads to a huge gap in knowledge as many newer individuals require training, which, existing employees do not have time to deal with or they risk missing existing project deadlines. Favoritism also reins high as it becomes evident it’s about people’s perception of you versus the actual work you perform. As another reviewer stated, employee benefits are also poor including no 401K matching.

Pros

Breath of fresh air in the instrument space with cutting-edge technology. Fast-paced, which doesn't make it stale. We could access or talk to anyone at any level, and this makes it less hierarchical. You also get credit for your contributions. I was on a project team with PD and marketing and was able to contribute. The scientists are really good and fun. Good pay.

Cons

It is not for the faint of heart. This is a place for mature professionals who enjoy having fun and working hard. It's not a place where you can coast and get by.
