Abcam Reviews

Pros

Friendly culture Lots of opportunities Fast growth A lot of change happening at all times

Cons

Benefits and salary still a bit behind other companies Few women in ELT

Pros

There is an overwhelming feeling that Abcam has its employees best interests at heart whilst also striving to grow a fantastic, purpose-led business. This is apparent from the way in which they manage, communicate and support their employees through challenging situations i.e Covid19 through to the fluid review of everyone's learning and personal development. In my experience it is a friendly, positive, transparent and collaborative workplace. Communication channels are very much open, with a platform to easily ask Alan (CEO) questions. Abcam also has a flexible working policy which is a great enabler for managing the balance of work/life but also promotes a diverse employee base.

Cons

None of note, very pleased I joined!

Pros

Great vibe. Intelligent people. Making a real contribution. Genuine flexibility in work/life balance. Cares for its people. Exciting pace of change. Ambitious plans for the future. Wish I’d joined years ago.

Cons

None, it really is a great place to work.

Pros

Wonderful company culture that encourages growth and learning for the sake of the greater cause, which is to support life scientists is research and discovery

Cons

Limited car parking is a con but company encourages sustainable travel to work which is always a plus

Pros

- It's great to work for an innovative and ambitious company that has a positive and enduring impact on the world - Great culture - open, friendly, smart and ambitious, fast-paced, global and diversified - that prioritizes personal development and growth

Cons

The pace of change and growth is high so it's important to be someone who is comfortable with change (not necessarily a con but something to be aware of)

Pros

Plenty of training course offered to advance your career and have an opportunity to apply for external courses twice per year. Great holiday allowance, share scheme and the company is extremely open. Through the Covid lock down the CEO has had regular video conferences with all employees

Cons

When you first start I can take awhile to find you fit within the company and learning the processes.

Pros

Great Values, Energetic Spirit, Demonstrable Flexible Working Patterns, Getting Things Done

Cons

No real concerns working here

Pros

There is autonomy and freedom within the business to bring in and execute your own ideas, this is refreshing to see. Implementing your own ideas is very much a way of working here and it's can do approach. If you are one to sit back and let others do the work then it's probably not the best place for you. Abcam's growth plans are exciting and bring optimism about where it sees itself in the future, certainly an exciting time to be on board. The company looks out for its employees and there are many perks that are provided including the share scheme, high street discount and the occasional free ice cream

Cons

As a company that is growing and will be a very large organisation in years to come, I believe we sometimes think we are larger than we are currently. However this mentality is quite generic in all businesses across the corporate world.
