Just say no - Director CRISPR Therapeutics Employee Review

Exciting environment and collaborative teams

Usual pain points of a growing organization

Benefits are good and lunch is subsidized. There are interesting projects and smart people working on them, the work itself isn’t the problem.

Executive pay is disconnected from company performance. Chronic understaffing has created unsustainable workloads with no relief in sight, and work-life balance is essentially nonexistent. Execs have created a surveillance and monitoring culture that has undermined trust and psychological safety across the organization. For a company that claims to be an innovation and science leader, there is no dedicated head of research which raises real questions about where this company is actually headed. Strategy shifts constantly with little to no communication to the people keeping it afloat.
