Pros
Great people and easy to talk to
Lots of opportunity for cross collaboration
$400 monthly commuter benefits
$15 lunch comped once weekly
1 week summer shutdown company wide first week of July and 1 week winter shutdown last week of December
15 days of PTO and 5 days of sick leave
Cons
Impossible to be promoted and no clear upward mobility
Frequent re-structures, roles and expectations are not clearly defined
Following the layoff, multiple people literally had no work to do for almost half a year
Portfolio and strategy makes no sense with several projects continually added without the manpower for them or expertise needed for such niche biology
Grueling workload
