Pros

Free lunch, full benefits paid by company incl. dental, vision & health, gym, and more. Smart people. You can learn new skills on the job.

Cons

You will see lots of diversity at DNA2.0, a fun multi-cultural team, and lots of women for a high-tech/biotech company. But beware, a big part of this hiring decision is labor cost, and they underpay the women, expescially asian and indian women, in every dept. Your male coworkers are making more than you, and your male boss is making a LOT more than you. The atomosphere is fun, but very clicky, like a bad High School rerun.

Pros

They often take in undergrad interns and they are very understanding if you have minimal experience in the field.

Cons

It's a smaller company so you are involved with a wide variety of projects but it can be overwhelming
