Pros

Some very smart people, great products. Nice building but the office itself is an embarrassment because it's such a disaster. Pay is decent, but after the hours you put in, it recalculates to a very low wage.

Cons

Working here: expect to get ridiculed, underappreciated, insulted, overworked and overwhelmed. A number of folks are in places of power that have no business being there, and the few people that do know business and can actually grow this business don't have any power whatsoever because they clearly threaten the instability and ego of the top bananas. It's a shame that such a great product and company has been ruined by poor business acumen and massive dysfunctional egos. Also, lots of gossip and cliques here made it hard to ever feel welcomed by anyone.

Pros

Benefits, pay, and catered lunch orders every shift. Company currently growing and seeking to expand its operations. Will learn plenty in lab with the training--opened my eyes to how biotech industry can work with this being my first professional role.

Cons

Fast-paced environment with less consideration for slower coworkers, coworkers that felt cliquey, and management that seemed distant and unapproachable. Getting along with coworkers was the toughest part for me. Some coworkers seemed unapproachable. Had trouble feeling a sense of belonging on the team with seemingly constant critique about my performance with very little mentioning of people seeing improvement.
