Pros

Great science and therapeutic potential Good benefits Great people from the lower to mid level Ideal environment for a cis white man Great place to work until 2020

Cons

- No work life balance - I frequently saw people online at all hours of the night - No clear priorities - the dominant attitude was that everything was due yesterday - Few opportunities for advancement - promotions intentionally keep people at 1-2 title below industry average and they tend to hire externally vs promoting within - Not a great place for women and minorities - CEO says problematic things while trying to be woke (including calling out a black woman during the George Floyd protests) and little to no discipline for those accused of sexual harassment - Leadership isn't receptive to feedback - we've been telling them what's needed to retain talent and that feedback is falling on deaf ears. - A lot of fake positive reviews on here - No interest in improving diversity and inclusion, only performative actions

Unemployment is better than working here

Pros

Science is exciting at CRISPR but other than that nothing

Cons

It is unwelcoming, severe and pervasive enough that it makes the work environment hostile. The moment an employee expresses their concerns the mangers finds a way to retaliate for your report to HR, such as exclusion from meetings and work events or ongoing mistreatment. Human Resources will provide minimum to no support to manage the situation. The practices employed are unprofessional, bullying is common and this is one of the main reasons why people prefer not to stay longer in the organization.

Constant re-organization and turnover prevents growth

Pros

Most of the people doing the work are wonderful to work with and rally together to meet the unrealistic timelines that are cascaded down. Some benefits are really nice like gym, cell phone, and two shutdowns. HR seems to genuinely care about feedback they receive and do their best to promote action where they can.

Cons

I can’t event count how many large reorganizations have occurred and the myriad of leadership changes that have occurred in the last few years. There is also a really high turnover rate which halts the growth/promotions of downstream employees. The titles across groups and even without groups are wildly inconsistent and it’s practically impossible to get a promotion unless you are favored by senior leadership (favorites are also very common and have any and all “rules” bent for them). The lack of work life balance has drastically changed as well. The bottom line for leadership is meeting timelines and they don’t care how this is achieved, the impact to product quality or how it impacts employees. This feedback has been provided consistently to leadership with no changes in behavior.
