Pros

The paycheck never bounced.... that about covers the pros.

Cons

Political is an understatement - either you know the CEO and are part of his "friends and family" or you are on the outside. The people that developed this technology and put their all into it for years are not the ones running the show. Lack of integrity - If you are in this industry you know that data fabrication is about the worst thing you can do - I saw it frequently here and nothing was done when I brought it up. Shoddy development - Menu content drove everything here. It never mattered whether the assays worked or not. There was never a commitment to product quality. Cult like culture - Chanting etc. If you aren't inclined to blindly drink the Kool-Aid, this isn't the place for you. Dissenting voices - even when supported by mountains of data are drowned out by emotion.

Hello, Quanterix has been through quite a growth transformation over the past few years and that includes bringing in additional leaders as we have grown. These are serious accusations regarding data. We pride ourselves on the peer reviewed science we are doing and it would be very helpful if you can bring these issues directly to your manager and HR. Product quality is of the utmost importance and we are doing the work to improve on this every day. We also want all employees to feel included. Try out Bingo on Thursday nights to meet more people. We have a very engaged, passionate employee base.

Top heavy and highly political

Pros

Innovative technology with a potential to detect disease earlier than conventional methods. Rapid growth of the company and increasing popularity of the technology among researchers. Overall compensation and benefits are okay. Good work-life balance for some employees. Some very bright, hard-working and down-to-earth co-workers. Bagel Thursdays (all the "leaders" eat them but none of them sign up to bring them).

Cons

Textbook cronyism: Key positions in the company have been taken over by the CEO's cronies. Top management lacks accountability and trust in their employees: They cut corners and when things backfire they blame their contract engineering / manufacturing partners. They hire watchdogs (also the CEO's cronies) to scrutinize and question their employees' actions. Over-the-top propaganda and brain-washing meetings, in which employees are made to chant motivational slogans. Actions do NOT speak louder than words at Quanterix. If you want to be recognized for your contributions you need to embellish everything you do and literally broadcast it all the way up to the VP level all the time.

Beware, it's a fast sinking ship

Pros

My department is doing the best they can with what they've got. And the benefits are good. That's about it.

Cons

It's becoming incredibly top heavy. We have plenty of folks telling us what to do and not enough boots on the ground. It's the perfect recipe for burnout. I think most everyone I started with a few years back has now moved on. A company made up of 20,000 executives isn't going to land you anywhere. No one needs more higher ups telling us how to do our jobs when we're already ridiculously understaffed. This company tends to run before they even know how to crawl. It's just another in the thousands of stereotypical, political, bias corporate entities. I'd say beware of this place, for your own mental health.
