Pros

A lot to learn from both a scientific ans business point of view. A lot of equipment, very nice colleagues in all teams. Fast opportunity to grow, and managers are aware of your efforts. The science is also interesting, even though limited due to the client-oriented nature of the work. For an early carrier, it's a very good company. The level of pressure was okay; it comes more by the clients rather than by the line managers.

Cons

Client-oriented science - not for everyone Sometimes you can feel overloaded by the amount of project you have, leading to numerous unpaid extra hours if you want to satisfy the clients and get the job done. The communication could be improved.

Pros

Dedicated staff, everyone is welcoming. I have found the management/senior management all approachable, honest, and open. I enjoy interacting with a wide variety of groups locally and globally. From looking at the history of the company and the growth I have seen. The company is doing very well and I can only see a bright future. The current staff are very knowledge (as you would expect). The new recruits appear hungry and motivated. Also not knowing everyone personally, Abzena has a good diversity. Situated on the Babraham Campus which offers a lot.

Cons

As always communication can be improved. Working across a large time zones could make some meetings have to be at uncomfortable times. I have found the work life balance ok. I thi k ideally a clear understanding around flexibility would add value to staff. Could do with the free bus to site running again.
