Pros
There are great people at the company, and many employees genuinely care about the science and the work.
Cons
In my experience, there was little to no formal structure for performance reviews, career development, or professional growth. Advancement opportunities were unclear, compensation appeared to be below market for the level of experience and responsibility expected, and there was no meaningful bonus structure. There was also limited flexibility, including little to no flex time, which made work-life balance more difficult. This was especially frustrating given the level of responsibility and expectations placed on employees. There was a high level of micromanagement from leadership, which made it difficult for employees to work independently or feel trusted in their roles. Priorities often shifted, communication was limited, and there was not enough transparency around long-term planning or employee retention. HR support was also disappointing. Processes were not always clear, communication felt inconsistent, and employee concerns did not always feel meaningfully addressed. This contributed to a lack of trust and made it harder to feel supported as an employee.
