Arsenal Biosciences reviews

When I applied at Arsenal, I read the reviews here and thought, it can’t be that bad, right? Wrong, it is absolutely the most toxic work environment I’ve ever been in. On linkedin, job titles boast “senior” of some sort – nearly half. People with limited experience and no direct reports are seniors. This is common in the biotech sector, as it is a risk to work for startups, so the pot is sweetened with a high salary and impressive title. This likely feeds into the cut throat culture that is rampant at Arsenal (for example your colleagues will tell your boss directly if you make a mistake instead of asking you about it). They boast of a culture filled with teamwork and transparency but this is not reality. Everyone trying to position themselves to be around after the next round of layoffs. Everyone who has one of these titles want you to know it. The culture is every decision is played off as if it is teamwork but the reality is, no one wants to be accountable for decisions. When everyone is responsible, no one is responsible. The benefits are good and they provide free lunch.

The most toxic workplace. Disorganized Bad management Bad 401k match/ 1% No company equity
