Pros

For those that somehow enjoy this workplace's culture, you may have a positive experience. Meaningful industry and product. Pay is reasonable although not a selling point.

Cons

Ambiguous "phenotype" match used as selection criteria in hiring decisions without any sort of validity, poor communication, zero semblance of work-life balance, complete disorganization (no such thing as a calendar here), rude management and leaders (starting at the very top with CEO). I was there just under nine months and saw three senior leaders voluntarily depart. Check out the leadership team page on the website. Check back in a month, it'll look different.

Sometimes long hours to get the job done

Pros

The product is great and will make a huge difference on the market. Great location if you live downtown

Cons

Culture- the CEO and Sr leadership expect you to work all the time. There is no work life balance even though they tell you there is. I get when there is a tight deadline but month after month due to lack of planning/resources is ridiculous. People have literally run from this place after being there less than a year. Favoritism for anyone the CEO likes but once you are deemed not essential you will quickly be ignored and treated like dirt. Quality- leadership is more concerned about meeting deadlines than producing a high quality product. Corners are cut. Promotions and pay are not equal for equivalent roles. People with less experience get promoted because they are friends with CEOs kids.

Thank you for your feedback. At Vero Biotech we have a Quality-First policy which has recently been inspected by and passed by the FDA and is ISO certified. We strive to receive feedback from both our employees, customers and vendors to make the best product possible. Sr. Management strives to ensure high-performance is not overlooked but is rewarded and given professional growth opportunities regardless of personal relationships. Those who are high performers may be given opportunities to work on projects which will gain them more exposure to the CEO and Sr. Leadership; this is designed to provide acknowledgement for their contributions and provide them with professional growth opportunities. We have had periods when longer hours were necessary to meet deadlines, which may have included the period when you were employed. Those who put in hard work are appreciated and recognized for their great contributions to the Company, as we would not be where we are without them. Since we have received FDA approval in December 2019, we have been ramping up in resources and are almost double in headcount as of today and are continuing a hiring surge. This is allowing us to better staff and reorganize our departments as we have launched into the commercial market and focus on next generation products.
