Pros

People are friendly and lovely.

Cons

The company struggles with transparency and alignment across teams. Development timelines are often overly optimistic, and there’s a tendency to present projects as on track even when challenges are clearly present. Open conversations about delays or risks are rare, which hinders effective problem-solving. Strategic decisions can feel short-sighted or inconsistent, and collaboration between teams is limited. Work is frequently duplicated or kept siloed, which leads to inefficiencies and missed opportunities. Attrition is also a concern - some of the strongest performers tend to leave, which impacts continuity and overall momentum.

Pros

good people who work really hard . New structure was put in place recently which seems to be improving things especially working together as teams. Its a good start. Great benefit structure in place, pay competitive. good job security in a challenging environment for biotech.

Cons

Management has not always been effective in dealing with difficult people so not always raised anymore, but that does seem to be changing, the tech is complex so can be stressful at times,

Pros

There are so many, very clever people who are friendly and support each other. This creates a great atmosphere to work in. Everyone has an opportunity to contribute as we are a small company. The technology could really make a difference in helping to cure diseases. The benefits are good and we have a beautiful kitchen space with regular food vans and snacks.

Cons

Senior Management need to be evaluated for more than their perceived technical expertise. Some behaviours should be challenged and improved. The direction and priorities change quickly and this can be difficult to understand.
