Pros

Non-legacy executive management (scientists, operators, analysts, associates) are very hardworking, highly intelligent, and friendly. Pay is above average. Platform is novel and innovative.

Cons

Legacy executive management (Chief level, Sr.VPs) are textbook toxic leadership, openly being hostile towards anyone or any department that do not fall into their cult mentality. If you fall out of favor from the CDO or Sr.VP Quality, your career at Fate is essentially over. Very unprofessional behavior at the executive level, openly gossiping and badmouthing other VPs/employees/departments/collaborators in front of staff; manipulating employees to be unhealthily competitive with each other; using intimidation to bully employees to act/behave the way they want.

Pros

Pay is great, most people are fun to be around. Has gotten better over the last year with the culture in the office.

Cons

Leadership choices can be awful and no outside life. I generally can say most people spend their time at work.
