Pros

Management approachable and open to change Great office location in Silicon Beach Free parking Casual new offices with social atmosphere

Cons

- There's so much to be done but not enough staff to make it happen causing overworked staff & job role overlap - So many new employees it's difficult to learn who does what - With such long hours and so much work to be done they need to support telecommuting more.

Pros

- Great benefits including 401K matching, tuition re imbursement, HSA matching, stock/bonus awards, and wellness awards. - Excellent campus with onsite/subsidized food court, gym, volleyball/pickle ball/volley ball court, zoom enables conference rooms, and shuttle service. - Company shutdown in July and December. - Laboratory spaces stocked with new equipment. - Utilizes electronic batch record system instead of paper.

Cons

- Poor collaboration between site leadership resulting in distractingly competitive environment focused more on positive optics rather than continuous improvement. - Poor short term and long term planning, often resulting in inconsistent operations schedule and unclear deadlines/objectives.
