Toxic work environment

Pros

Potential for turning potent but toxic T-cell engagers into safe and effective therapeutics is a noble cause. Another plus are really talented folks on the R&D team that are amazing to work with.

Cons

There are several intense personalities on the senior management team that have anger management issues. Behavior can toggle between texting you outside of working hours as your BFF to attacking you at meetings and giving you the cold shoulder. This behavior is excused as intensity when it is classic bully behavior that should be called out. That is hard when that person has hiring and firing power. Others lack basic empathy skills and manage with lists and Excel documents, rather than having real conversations. To add insult to injury, there are a few people who play politics to get ahead and will throw you under the bus if it advances their career. While Amunix is doing better as a business, it should not excuse leaders who bully, intimidate, and lack basic etiquette. Don't settle for a toxic work environment that is unsupportive.

From Angie, Amunix CEO: I am truly sorry to hear that this was your experience at Amunix. We have always encouraged feedback and there are countless examples of junior employees providing feedback all the way up to the CEO with no negative repercussions. We try to empower and coach our employees to communicate any issues and overall, I hope people see that we listen and take it to heart. Our culture is one where we hold ourselves accountable especially when people communicate and provide feedback, even going so far as providing coaching for the leaders of our organization, including myself. I recognize that we all perceive discussions differently and what comes across as a healthy scientific debate to some, may feel more intimidating to others. That being said, I believe in transparency and have publicly owned when my behavior or interaction could have been better. Bully behavior and blame games are unacceptable at Amunix, and if you felt this way, I wish you had felt comfortable discussing it with your manager. Even as a former employee, I would welcome hearing from you directly (if you are interested) to learn more about your experience and your suggestions on how we can do better. I do hope to hear from you, but if not, I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors.

Pros

Been working at Amunix for close to a year now. The technology is great. The people who work here are great. Working here has allowed me to wear a lot of different hats and learn new skill sets. The novel drugs that Amunix develops has so much potential; this is certainly an exciting time to be working here. The culture is also great. Management is open minded, they are always willing to listen to your creative ideas. Also - Amunix just moved to South SF, and the new lab space has been wonderful.

Cons

Fast paced environment can be intimidating for some. Taking on too many projects in parallel can result in making poor key decisions.
