Pros

One of the standout features of Seqera is the flexibility it offers to its employees. The company embraces a remote working environment, allowing team members from various parts of the world to collaborate seamlessly. This multicultural aspect brings diversity to our work, enabling us to learn from each other's experiences and perspectives. Everyone here is genuinely passionate about their work and willing to go the extra mile to help their colleagues. Seqera Labs also understands the importance of investing in its employees' growth. The company has a budget for training and development, allowing individuals to enhance their skills and stay ahead of the curve. Additionally, the annual in-person gatherings bring the entire company together, providing opportunities to network, exchange ideas, and foster strong bonds.

Cons

However, it's worth noting that as a growing startup, Seqera Labs is experiencing some transitional challenges. Processes are not yet 100% established, and there is room for improvement in terms of communication from top level profiles to the rest of the employees. While we make the most of the tools available to us, there is still work to be done in implementing more effective tools and systems across the company. The management team is actively working to address these areas and has shown a willingness to adapt and evolve.

Pros

I got hired quickly. Plenty of teambuilding (drinking etc) occasions

Cons

Zero support from management. Angry / hostile commands and feedback are sometimes given. Middle management very sneaky - they stole work and ideas to pass them off as their own. Very toxic and needlessly combative environment. Expected to learn an impossible amount without any support. Leadership is often hungover and more interested in promoting self-image and partying than actually leading the team. When I was having professional difficulties, I received no support. When I asked for support, I was fired. Truly a horrible experience.

Pros

Seqera has a unique culture, due to it's origins in academia and open source. The company is committed to creating value for the life sciences industry while also giving back to open source and academic researchers, and making sure that everyone in the company can enjoy their work along the way. If you live in Barcelona, the Seqera office is a lot of fun, and if you're anywhere else, it's an excellent remote workplace. We have flexible hours, so it's easy to prioritize things outside of work when you need to. But for me, the best part about working for Seqera is the chance to build something that is widely-used and impactful in life sciences (and hopefully, one day, many other fields). It is a unique opportunity, one that is hard to quantify against larger companies that pay more but maybe the work isn't as interesting.

Cons

Remote work isn't for everyone. We do what we can to stay connected with each other, including yearly gatherings at the Barcelona office, but it's hard to have the same kind of community that you might have with your neighbors. So if you aren't in Barcelona, make sure you have that community outside of work before you join.
