Pros

The science is so promising. The potential for less toxic, yet highly effective immunotherapies is huge, and you can feel the excitement from the whole team. Benefits are also pretty good, the lab staff gets along well/ is eager to lend a hand, and management is serious about safety during COVID times.

Cons

There is definite meeting fatigue. Sometimes it feels like meetings/ presentations happen that don't need to, or could be solved by email. Upper management/ executives attend meetings that are intended as working meetings, which cause them to go long. People are continually interrupted during presentations, side conversations break out, etc. Another thing is hiring. Totally understand the need for a solid executive team, especially when attracting investors. However, there is a huge need for people in the lab to actually do work.

From Angie, Amunix CEO I recognize that it has been a couple of months since you gave this review and do understand the feedback you provided around meeting volume and hiring. I am happy to share that in the last several months, we have been working hard to address both things. We have evaluated our meetings and restructured many of these to have “required” and “optional” attendees, allowing optional attendees more flexibility in balancing busy schedules and competing priorities. We also continue to work on being rigorous in streamlining agendas and staying on track to avoid long meetings. In addition, we are currently hiring for a significant number of lab-based positions to help support workload. While I am sorry that are you not able to see the improvements we are working to make, we appreciate your feedback and wish you the best in your future endeavors -Angie

Pros

If you are straight out of college this job is a good place to start. The pay may not be comparable to the big companies, but you will get a lot of hands on experience with many different techniques. I did not realize how valuable this was until I saw how repetitive other jobs at my level can be. Everyone will have the opportunity to spearhead some new process development work. I feel very well prepared for a career in this industry because of my experiences at Amunix. --Free Lunches (every day) --Lots of snacks available all day --Cool people; I made a ton of great friends there --Flexible hours Amunix is in a really exciting position right now. If they play their cards right the stock options could be worth quite a lot. That's all uncertain though, so I'm not sure if that is a pro or con.

Cons

The biggest one is the salary. They really underpay their employees. Hopefully they are able to improve on that in the future. They have been trying to make up for this with stock options, but that's not as good as money in your pocket for people who have student debt to pay off. -- Your projects constantly change (I once when 6 months without finishing a project because they all kept getting canceled. This is really frustrating because you feel like nothing you've done for the past few months matters).
