Adaptimmune Reviews

Pros

The team I was a member of were a fantastic bunch of people to work with.
It was a very enjoyable and professional work environment with the best work-life balance of anywhere I have worked.
There were a lot of perks with the job considering the size of the company.
And most importantly there is some brilliant high quality science and innovation being fostered within the company, surely the path to success :)

Advice to Management

Keep up the good work and best of luck for the future!

Pros

There are many wonderful people there that are friendly, easy to get on with , supportive and social. The work is interesting and varied.

Advice to Management

Even there some good managers, there are far more bad managers there that are narcissistic and create toxic atmospheres making good employees leave. More must the be done to sort this as these people are ruining the reputation and culture of the company.

Pros

It is a job with salary.
