      Toxic culture ruining good science

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Good benefits and stability Exciting science and patient centric

      Cons

      There are many problems with leadership. It feels that at this point timelines and KPI is way more important than doing good science. I found it very frustrating to having to deal with leaders who won’t listen or actually don’t understand how bench work works. I spend too much effort making up stuff to fulfill KPI so it looks good on paper than producing high quality results

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Passionate people working towards a common goal. Excellent leadership from the top down.

      Cons

      Process improvement sometimes for the sake of process improvement. Need to ensure ROI is there before things are overhauled
