Pros

Their office is within walking distance of many downtown Buffalo attractions, including the Unemployment Office.

Cons

There's a lot to say about Circuit Clinical, all of which is factual. Empirican Group LLC (d/b/a Circuit Clinical) began through START-UP NY, and has been in business for over three (3) years. Over that period of time, they've taken millions of dollars in both government and private investment capital, and have yet to produce anything of business value, let alone regional economic value. They claim to develop software for clinical trials, yet they employ no software developers. They've pivoted their core product an incomprehensible number of times, burning through exorbitant amounts of cash in the process (NYS residents: money, in part, taken directly or indirectly from your taxes), yet they still lack a discernible identity and, most importantly, a viable product. No one really knows what Circuit Clinical does, because Circuit Clinical isn't sure what Circuit Clinical does. Due to their lack of revenue and tenuous understanding of capital management, they're struggling financially. As such, they've faltered from their promise to "bring software development jobs to Buffalo", and have resorted to unethical, spur-of-the-moment, Draconian-style layoffs of core staff, which includes terminating several senior-level employees without notice, and cancelling their benefits (health, dental, etc.) the same day, in an effort to conserve money. Really great stuff.

Pros

A great mission. It was a great introduction to clinical trials and the networking around the industry. Great pay and great perks, which is why, I'm guessing, they needed to layoff 25% of the company.

Cons

Classic startup issues. Quick to increase its work force and just as quick to let people go. They continued to hire even after they lost some critical funding and knew they were going to lay people off.

Pros

Dynamic CEO who is a lot of fun. Could be a meaningful business that makes a difference, in theory.

Cons

Absolutely toxic management team below the CEO. Went on a hiring spree then promptly ran out of money and laid off a bunch of people. Zero meaningful feedback. Got jammed into a role which I was not recruited for, did not apply for, did not interview for, and which I would not have accepted. Doesn’t seem to have anything to actually sell, to make money. Too focused on things that do not matter (like fancy business cards.)
