Pros

Amazing people, rewarding and exciting work. The company is growing fast and you can really have an impact in the new policies, systems as they are put in place. There are often training and learning opportunities in areas outside of your direct field, e.g. communication and holding effective meetings, which shows that management cares about the long-term success of the company and the employees. The execs are very accessible. 1 week shutdown during winter holidays. And everyone has standing desks.

Cons

The vivarium is at a different location, which means that a few employees are often apart and left out of many activities. Certain lab activities have demanding hours and not enough hired support.

Pros

Tocagen has an amazing culture! Our intelligent, innovative and passionate team is making an incredible effort to revolutionize cancer treatment. Each of us are empowered to make meaningful impacts on the work that we do. The science is exciting and our entire team is extremely committed to making a difference in patients' lives! There are high standards on company goals, as it should, and each team member works hard to achieve them. At the same time, we celebrate our successes with fun employee events and we do what we can to give back to the brain cancer community.

Cons

The common feedback from the team is that at times resources felt lean. It is challenge to balance additional resources and grow business responsibly, while we await for our final analysis results.
