Arsenal Biosciences reviews

They want people with experience but will not take into consideration the expertise. Projects are led by people who have no experience in that specific area, and it feels like there is a lot of redundancy, power struggles, and of course, if you are not vigilant, credit stealing! Most of my energy is spent in keeping my eyes and ears open, to protect myself from backstabbing and credit stealing.

1. The company often fails to make the most of the limited resources, especially in the area of staffing. Headcount allocation is often based on "perceived need" without reviewing whether a team is already well-staffed. This generally leads to teams with poor output getting outsized while still failing to generate matching output. 2. The imbalance of staffing also leads to some people perpetually overwork and therefore the work-life balance issue. At the same time, others have more reasonable or even light workload. It is important to consider this as a failure of the management, instead of as people not willing to work hard. 3. Arsenal has done a poor job rewarding employee based on merits. How well a person does her/his job or how much measurable contribution one made have less to do with career opportunities than the position (s)he has or the team one is on. This opens doors to the behavior of focusing on individual advancement and not the success of the whole company (aka playing politics).
