Salary details - Research Associate Epicrispr Biotechnologies Employee Review

Love the culture, love the people, love the science. And the office is at a pretty sweet place too. I have pretty high hopes from Epic as a startup. Direct employee management is mostly team/department dependant but senior/operations management is excellent.

Most of the cons that I can think of are logistics/benefits related, but given that it's a startup, they still do a lot more than the competition.

The team at Epic are friendly, curious, and intelligent people who are passionate about science. Once I learned about the technology and that Amber was leading the company, I couldn't wait to join the team. I previously worked with Amber, so I appreciate her dedication and how available she makes herself to everyone. In addition, Amber is a mother with a child living with a rare disease, so you know she has "skin in the game," working to find treatments for patients. I love the waterfront footpaths, the bright open workspace, free lunches, snacks, happy hours, and boba tea on Fridays. In addition, they offer competitive benefits, with the company paying 80%, generous equity, complimentary shuttle to BART/Caltrain, and other perks.

The only downside I can see is the lack of amenities in the immediate area; Foundry & Lux is one of a few options within walking distance, but there are plenty of options within a short drive.
