Assembly Biosciences Reviews

Mid-level managers are not strong role models or leaders. Accountability is lacking as decisions are passed around until someone in a higher role can make the decisions for those below. Most contributors are overworked with the thought of empowerment more an idea than actually applied. Poor means of retaining employees; as people leave those that stick around get promoted/reward for unclear reasons other than to stay and fill the gaps. The one benefit I had issue with was with the Flexible PTO. I was denied PTO because I was going to exceed the "industry standard" for PTO. The intent of Flexible PTO is not meant to "reflect" and align with PTO in the greater market- if that were the case then employees are actually losing here.

Must be the most overpaid and entitled leadership team in the industry with nothing but one failure after another to show for it. Chief HR Officer and Chief Operating Officer are positions that should not even exist in a small company and neither deserved their promotions. C-suite takes more vacations than anyone in the company and then thinks the rest of us want to see their vacation slide show! They preach about cash runway and the need to lay people off and cut programs, but give each other promotions, fat raises and bonuses. It will only get worse when current CEO steps down. At least he has a personality, is nice and is humble. More than can be said for the new guy stepping in. This company will not survive the long game because they run it like Gilead.
