Pros

interesting industry, if you like beer

Cons

I was part of this soul-destroying work environment for over a year before I decided it was best to get out. While the office looks shiny and the staff are friendly, the managers/ownership are a very abusive and manipulative disfunctional couple and daughter who frequently argue with each other which in itself is very unprofessional. In my time there I witnessed multiple staff members yelled at, intellectually belittled, reduced to tears, referred to using obscene language behind their back, a staff member walk off the job during the day, and a staff member leave after 3 weeks. I witnessed an argument with a contractor that led to their company contract being terminated because they apparently didn't know what they were talking about despite it being their profession. Also, the manager hasn't quite clicked that most of their personal emails end up on the database for all staff to see, and the way they spoke in several emails made you really embarrassed to work there. The manager also txts staff outside of work hours about all manners of random things - very unprofessional and unwanted. I often felt nausea just walking to work in the morning. The high staff turnover should be a huge red flag to anyone going for an interview (can't blame COVID-19 for this) and no clear sign that the managers will ever change. Get a job at Weatherspoons instead.

Pros

Modern lab and office. Mostly hire really great staff

Cons

Everything else. Would rate it less than 1 star if it was possible. Ran by two of the most wildly incompetent and generally nasty people on the planet. She is who you'll deal with on a day to day. She likes to shout at and bully her staff, and will always blame those below her without being able to accept any responsibility, or take any constructive criticism. She will make your everyday life hell. He is just awful and belittling. He does hardly any work and when his "expertise" are needed elsewhere in the company he is nowhere to be found. He is so out of touch with the goings on of his own business, surprised the place is still running. He will try and make you feel small and stupid in front of the entire office if you make the smallest mistake (seen him get basic maths wrong ironically). He will make your life hell in a different way. There is no structure to speak of, the staff pretty much run the operation themselves until a higher up decides to take an interest. As the review before mine states, the staff all come together to get each other through the days (apart from the sneaky few). Wouldn't apply here if it was the last company on earth. Don't do it to yourself.

Stay Away

Pros

New building, friendly colleagues, clean laboratory

Cons

The environment overall is very toxic. The company is run from a phycopath that keeps bullying, abusing and shouting at the staff and that's why sooner or later, everyone leaves this place. You will never be appreciated there but you will face disrespect constantly. Stay away if you want your mental health.
