Good for a start but can get toxic very quickly

Pros

Great colleagues to work with. The company has a great objective to help scientists.

Cons

Company is struggling with funding and therefore laying people off left and right. The bad thing is they are using terrible techniques to get people to quit themselves rather than the company laying them off. HR is for the company and not for the staff, people keep dropping off quietly here and there because HR manages their exit. Micromanagement at its best with managers with very little experience. There are a select few who are deeply loved in their teams (people with loud mouths), everyone else don’t matter. It’s a start up so work life balance is non existent. Burnout is very common.

Pros

Cool concept and vision to enable better science Intelligent people and majority are great to work with.

Cons

Management is poor, lacking experience in management itself or within a scientific field, in some cases. Total lack of support in some teams, excessive micromanagement in others. As others have mentioned, they are discretely dismissing people or forcing them out using abhorrent techniques e.g. relying on disclaimers to ignore their own internal guidelines. Much of this comes as a big surprise after the initial positive impression of the company. Definite culture of who shouts loudest gets heard most, which quickly becomes simultaneously annoying and disheartening.

Pros

Nice people. Cool lab. Glassdoor wants five words ...

Cons

Management is absolutely clueless. The higher you go the more clueless they are. There is no product, and nobody has a clue of how to build one. Huge waste of investor money. There's real work for real developers because there is no product to write. Senior developers are given some BS tasks and they cannot do their job for BS reasons. The web GUI team rules the thing and impose their BS on everybody else. Horrible choice of languages tools etc. Senior developers are changing faster than socks for all the above reasons. Same for manager and senior leadership - none of them are able to provide. They all came for the line in the resume and not because they know something, or have a vision If you're senior - avoid. Don't fall for their amazing sales point. They don't have, and will never have any real impact.
