Pros

The majority of individuals working at Octant are brilliant and overall fantastic. I found the science to be exciting and the conversations captivating.

Cons

Terrible parking, not a great place for BIPOC, most managers have zero experience and it shows, a lot of favoritism when it comes to performance reviews/compensation. Not a supportive environment for a well balanced life.

Pros

Good compensation. The operation team is really trying hard to make it a fun workplace.

Cons

I have to say, there is really not much career growth. The leadership team doesn't value industry experience. The company culture values over-promise over scientific rigor.
