Pros

I've been in biotech for 15 years and worked at several startups. Karius is special. Karius is full of smart, passionate and driven people who work well together and seem to believe in the mission. The management team is open and transparent, offering many opportunities for employees at all levels to provide feedback, from regular company meetings to informal forums with the CEO.

Cons

Karius suffers from many of the usual startup problems. There are too many good ideas to pursue and not enough resources, so focus is the key. Projects can become siloed. Processes are not fully developed. All of these things have been steadily improving as the company matures.

Pros

Coworkers are nice and friendly

Cons

The current CEO can't perform the job requirements. He doesn't know what leadership means and has no vision. If Karius fails, the CEO will contribute to 99% of the cause.
