BERG Reviews

CEO doesn't show up and if he does, it's after 3 pm. Not great for employee morale if the CEO doesn't seem to care. Anyone who is experienced and valuable doesn't stay long. Problems are swept under the rug leading to unhappy employees so they leave for other companies that actually see their worth. Health, eye insurance benefits, and 401K plan are underwhelming.

The management here is a fan of over-promising and under delivering. The benefits were the worst I've seen in Massachusetts which they tried to sell to us by saying it was based on the standards in Nashville where the deep pocketed backer is based. The science was shaky at best. Management was out of touch with the science and with reality. Management was highly dramatic and would pull people out of the lab in dramatic fashion to have an urgent meeting about some rumor they heard, often asking us all point blank and in front of our colleagues if we agreed with the sentiments behind the rumor (sentiments which were largely malcontent and dissatisfaction). It felt like working for a used car salesman. The "sales pitch" for the company is impassioned and moving, but its all a front. I honestly don't believe that management cares at all about their employees or the patients. During my tenure and beyond they have experienced an incredibly high turnover rate. The only reason people stayed was largely because they over-promote people to positions they aren't qualified for and couldn't match elsewhere. Do not buy into those promises. They also pay far less than comparable sized biotech in the area.
