Pros

The technology is fairly simple and not innovative given that other companies have been using droplets long before 10x but the applications are exciting.

Cons

The company fabricates good reviews and removes bad reviews from Glassdoor. Management is terrible and egos are inflated . There is lots of head budding . There is a lack of respect between mid level management and employees.

Thank you for taking time to provide your review. I have to start by saying that the statements you made in your review are simply not true. I invite you to discuss your concerns in person so I can better understand where you are coming from. We want all employees to feel empowered to bring concerns to me or any of the managers, and to partner with us to develop solutions. 10x is committed to building a great culture and a place where people are excited to come to work. We strive to be an “employer of choice” and work hard toward that goal. Our most recent employee survey results support this with 91% of employees reporting that they are proud to work at 10x and 80% of employees report that they would recommend 10x as a great place to work. 98% reported that the products and services 10x provides are relevant and needed in the market today. We feel that success is earned and cannot be taken for granted. We also know that there are always many things for us to work on, especially given our fast pace of growth. With that in mind, we have been putting in place many different elements to support our employees and culture, including initiatives around career growth opportunities, training and inclusion.

Pros

There used to be free food when we were in the office.

Cons

There was another review posted here around March 2021 that was pretty critical about leadership and instead of accepting the criticism and addressing the issues that were raised, leadership got super pissed and went on a witch hunt trying to figure out who it was. The review got taken down, so that says a lot about how this company deals with employee feedback. I wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of these supposedly positive reviews are fabricated as well. Somebody asked why the review was taken down during an all-hands and we didn't really get a satisfactory answer from leadership. They basically said to talk to them in private for details which of course nobody did. I'm still getting paid decently well so I guess I can't complain too much, but the way this was handled was definitely a disappointment.

Pros

+ Stock options. + Easy commute. + Celebrations and free food. + Friendship via survival.

Cons

- Toxic work environment because the CEO is a scientist, not a leader. - Very low level of respect between employees; no respect between employees and management. - They have the resources to protect employees and the environment, but they don’t because regulatory oversight is minimal. - At-will employment means you can be terminated for any reason, so you may have to buy the stock options in which you have been vested. - Social Darwinism. If management/leadership don’t like you, they will indirectly show it and push you out. - Passive-aggression is common. - Unqualified personnel move up quickly if they keep quiet and/or enable poor behavior.
