Pros

There are few other jobs where the connection between the work that you do and the benefit to other people (or society in general) is so apparent. The employees here are top-notch, and while they work hard, they also know how to play hard too. Management has a great deal of respect for the employees, and we're treated very well. Salary's great, flexible time off policy, company paid happy hour once a week, stocked office refrigerator...

Cons

This is one step up from a startup, so there's still significant growing pains. Plenty of work to be done, and nowhere near enough time to finish it all. HR/IT are located in Beverly, MA, so here in Boulder we sometimes feel a bit like the ignored stepchild.

Pros

I enjoy working for a company that stands on its' own, and knows its' value. This is that company. I get the sense that everyone working here takes pride in what they do and what they represent at Enzymatics. People here treat interns like equals and pay them well, because they want them to stay. There's a fully stocked fridge for employees, PTO and other systems here don't have tons of 'red tape' as many would call it, unlike bigger corporations. I really feel at home here, because the people here in the Boulder office are so awesome, friendly, and talented.

Cons

The only challenge I feel is that we struggle to get the upper management to work with us on expenses for many different tools, which is understandable for a smaller company.

Pros

Bonuses and new PTO Policy

Cons

Enzymatics used to be a great place to work and gave you a sense of pride. Ever since a mass layoff, the environment and attitudes have changed dramatically. Upper Management does not mentor their employees and they would rather sit back and delegate their work to cover up their short comings.They set people up for failure. There are a lot of men in upper management and it's basically a "mans man" environment. There is no praise and recognition for people who work hard but they definitely point out when you do something wrong. The HR department does not have any "follow through" or professionalism. Even if you go with them with a problem, its not handled at all. The new CEO is a nice guy, and means well, but he is basically a "fill in" at this point. Too many chiefs and not enough Indians, for sure.
