Very smart people and lots of funding. Great operational progress.
Cons
Insufficient attention to quality and details, middling results thus far. Vertex is primarily responsible for the approval in hand.

Thank you for leaving a review. We are pleased to hear you found your colleagues bright and felt the company is favorably positioned. Thank you for contributing to our exciting science, which includes multiple data readouts this year across program areas.
CRISPR offers multiple avenues to hear and act upon employee feedback, including surveys, company meeting Q&A and/or talking with an HR Business Partner. We are sorry to hear your experience differed from this. We have shared your feedback with the team and wish you the best in your career journey.
Benefits are good and lunch is subsidized. There are interesting projects and smart people working on them, the work itself isn’t the problem.
Cons
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.
