Pros

Free food Normal benefit package HR is kind

Cons

Hazing, bullying, rude and disrespectful unprofessional people. Management is a hands off manager until something happens then will recline in a chair during mediation and giggles the whole time. Not open to change or efficiently. If some one gets ahold of a project they will take it from you and work night and day (unpaid) to do it and make you look bad. Making spreadsheets that are overly complicated and inefficient- that’s the way to get promoted. Bonus points if they are mostly unusable. Also witch hunts against your fellow ‘teammates’ is required and encouraged. To top it off education is required here but your brain will rot. You will be teaching ‘senior’ staff rudimentary science so they will not screw up as badly. You will also be told that you do not have the capacity to mentor others - yet you will be asked to constantly mentor others. You will get no raise as you are female.

Pros

Very interesting technology. People are driven by scientific insight. Great people. Very transparent company - everyone knows company status and goals. Everyone has a voice if they choose to use it. Animal welfare is top concern here. I have never worked for a start up that had the great benefits we have (PTO, many holidays, food !)

Cons

Typical start up growing pains. Sometimes there are too many voices. I think it is better at times to have a singular voice to say 'this is what we are doing' as opposed to having a committee about everything. You will probably gain an extra 10 pounds from the always available food.
