Pros
The employees that are ACTUALLY contributing and doing the meaningful work there are great. Extremely hard working group who is inspiring to be around. Unfortunately that was not enough to keep me and many of others.
Cons
- Long hours trying to make up for upper management's ridiculous decisions. - Continuous turnover due to all of the reasons listed here and the "advice for management" section. Leaves you stuck teaching your new colleague the ropes for 3 months before he/she leaves for something better. - I can't even tell you how many management changes have happened at SGI-DNA/Codex DNA. It seems no matter who leaves or who is brought in, nothing changes. - While some of the people are great to work with, the other's that aren't make it rather unbearable. - No 401k match. - Pay CAN be okay depending where you are in the company.
