Pros
Innovative technology with a potential to detect disease earlier than conventional methods. Rapid growth of the company and increasing popularity of the technology among researchers. Overall compensation and benefits are okay. Good work-life balance for some employees. Some very bright, hard-working and down-to-earth co-workers. Bagel Thursdays (all the "leaders" eat them but none of them sign up to bring them).
Cons
Textbook cronyism: Key positions in the company have been taken over by the CEO's cronies. Top management lacks accountability and trust in their employees: They cut corners and when things backfire they blame their contract engineering / manufacturing partners. They hire watchdogs (also the CEO's cronies) to scrutinize and question their employees' actions. Over-the-top propaganda and brain-washing meetings, in which employees are made to chant motivational slogans. Actions do NOT speak louder than words at Quanterix. If you want to be recognized for your contributions you need to embellish everything you do and literally broadcast it all the way up to the VP level all the time.
