Pros

Incredible culture, great benefits, startup environment, rapidly growing, fairness in compensation, unlimited PTO, openness. free skis/board annually, hands-on with new algae-based technology, working to pave a post-petroleum future.

Cons

Wearing multiple hats, non-competitive pay, not yet profitable, high female-management turnover, a lot to learn from diverse projects within the company, not everyone is aligned with upper management's mindset.

Pros

It's a startup, but committed to getting better all the time. It's hard work, not as many luxuries as a mature business, but the potential is huge and brainpower at this company is top notch!

Cons

You have to wear a lot of hats. Non team players don't survive in an environment like this.

Pros

Core technology platform with huge potential. Company's founders brought inspiring vision for how sustainable technology can be incorporated into products.

Cons

Innovative tech platform is unlikely to find success under current leadership. The founding team who carried all the vision has been pushed out by new leadership. Current leadership is motivated to cash out on biotech innovation, but lacks the cohesive direction, experience and strategy to actually get there.
