Pros

Pay is Gabbie industry standards

Cons

Leadership is trash and runs the company like a military dictatorship. So many incompetent people and decisions.

Pros

Good pay, decent benefits, and great culture. The company is growing and has a lot of potential in the near future. With the company still being somewhat small for a CDMO, people are taking on multiple tasks and projects which I think is a good thing. There is a lot of knowledge here, and lots of growth in the future.

Cons

Lots of meetings.....I mean LOTs of meeting. But other than that, not much to say that is negative at Abzena.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience! We’re glad to hear that our pay, benefits, culture, and growth opportunities are hitting the mark. As a growing CDMO, we value teammates who are willing to wear multiple hats and learn from one another. We also hear you on the number of meetings. We’re always open to refining our meeting norms to protect focus time and speed up decision‑making. If you have specific suggestions, we’d love to hear them so we can keep improving! Thanks again for helping us build an even better Abzena. — The People Team
