Startup with a great goal and poor leadership, bad culture

Pros

Converting methane into high value products is a great goal.

Cons

Great goal, but the company is not willing to do the work to be successful. Very poor leadership prevents this company from making any real progress. Some good leaders have been hired, but churned out quickly, the company in general has a hire rate of letting people go. Work life balance is not great, as a result of unclear goals and improper planning, often the late nights and weekends aren’t even a necessity.

Pros

- a goldmine of great folks who care about the science. At its core I think everyone there is pretty great, just under some solid and legitimate pressure. - cool technology that is not industry standard - ability to expand upon current knowledge and branch out, just good luck finding the time - R&D VP has a heart of gold

Cons

- it’s an early stage startup. Know what that means before you join - little knowledge of fermentation R&D and scale up once you go below management. - strong personalities, but not harmful people. - Leadership below CEO/CFO has no real leadership training. A lot of good intentions that end up still missing the mark. - Insane hours with zero recognition and even less appreciation from middle management. - Some Sr research staff have no idea what they’re doing or talking about. Others are exceptional leaders and the difference is stark. - if you aren’t an engineer or PhD (or just a young woman perhaps) be prepared to feel like you’re sitting at the kids table during thanksgiving. - while I don’t agree that the tech is fraudulent (quite an accusation) it is a little more unreliable than advertised.
