Pros
Fair pay (upper range of median market pay compared to other biopharma companies in San Diego). Good benefits (free HMO, 5% 401k match).
Cons
It's almost eerie how the < 3-star reviews posted in Aug 2022 are so spot on! It seems like it's gotten worse since I left a few months ago. Turnovers were common (~35% before I left) but I distinctly remember when the Head of Quality--with years of experience as director and VP at other companies--resigned < 6 months of working there: major red flag. Abzena pays well but be prepared to take abuse, do tasks that weren't in your original job description, be thrown under the bus at meetings, poor communication b/w departments (that are supposed to work "cross-functionally"), disorganized and chaotic management... This place became unbearable to the point that I risked leaving the stability of a well-paying job even though I didn't have another job in hand when I resigned.
