Pros

At one time it was an amazing place to work. Great Senior Leadership, sense of where the company was going. Amazing Science bright smart competent scientists. Proud to have supported.

Cons

Past few years toxic, unhealthy environment. Poor senior leadership, leaders who don't care about employees. Morale is non existent. Expectations are high but people are set up to fail. Very unsafe environment. Sad for the people left in the mess.

Pros

I worked there for almost five years. The first 2 1/2 years it was one of the best places I have ever worked and the last two it was the worst place I ever worked. Management changed and then no one was happy. Almost all are looking for work.

Cons

Management that tells you it’s a raise your hand management, but it’s not and no one will raise their hand because they know if they do they’ll get fired. And they told us that a work life balance was not reasonable our life had to be about Work.

Thank you for sharing your perspective and for the time you spent with Abzena. As our business has evolved toward commercial readiness, we’ve introduced more structure and rigor to ensure the highest standards for patients. We understand that periods of change can feel challenging and don’t always resonate the same way for everyone. We’re committed to creating an environment where employees feel heard, supported, and able to contribute openly, and we continue to focus on strengthening that experience across the organization. Regardless, we wish you all the best moving forward.
