Pros

Abcam is a challenging and dynamic workplace with great progression opportunities. It's fulfilling to be working collectively to help achieve the company goals. The new HQ building is also a great place to work with fantastic facilities.

Cons

Abcam is growing at quite a pace and has been for a number of years. Therefore, especially in busy periods, teams will become quite strained by the amount of workload. if you thrive in a fast-paced and changeable environment, then Abcam may be the place for you!

Pros

Very friendly culture, outstanding people, tremendous growth and opportunities. Lots of flexibility. I love the fact that I can make my family life work around my job and that Abcam supports me to do this.

Cons

There is very little not to like. There has been a focus on constantly improving reward and benefits which has been very well received and much more is planned in this space

Pros

Abcam is one of those companies I have waited my whole career to join. It is growing, high tech and successful. It is also passionate about constantly improving itself. I have never sees a business that listens to its people and then implements improvements so quickly. The company has invested in a fantastic all employee share scheme to share success with everyone, has great training programmes and has moved to an... amazing new office in Cambridge. It is ambitious and as a growing business asks its people to grow their careers and learn more in a truly global business. This is not a company you can come into and hide away. It is a high performance business which expects people to contribute. In return you get lots of support, flexibility, route to grow your career and fun!

Cons

The company is ambitious so sometimes things need a bit of ‘air traffic control’ to help land things in a joined up way. But that’s the output of a creative business which moves with pace. Better that than indecisive big business.

Advice to Management

Keep all the straight talking, listening and ambition. Keep attracting the people who can join this business to share the journey.
