      Pros

      Employees are all very friendly and helpful. Majority of the lab teams are composed of individuals in their 20's. There are weekly catered lunches and free snacks are available on a daily basis.

      Cons

      You may or may not get weekends off. Also, There aren't many opportunities to move up as a Research Associate so this position is more suitable for individuals looking to gain industry experience.

      Helpful coworkers but the management was lacking

      Pros

      Free catering lunch (salad bar, main course, and fruits) was provided every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday (however now it's said that on Fridays they only serve the salad bar). Coffee vending machine and unlimited tea supply. Personal fridge to store our own food. Gym with varied equipments. Pingpong table and flat screen TV in the entertainment room for all employees to lounge in or to refresh momentarily during personal breaks or after work. two work-station treadmills in the office. Parking structure, so no worries getting in and out of the car when it rains. Temps get paid overtime. Flexible work hours. Commonly, people come 8-5 or 9-6 but some come very early and leave in the afternoon where others come later than 10 but stay up until 9 pm.

      Cons

      Management was lacking (which is pretty common for start-ups?). The accounting team had to come on weekends about at least twice a month and there is no OT for permanent employees. Working remotely on weekends is possible if you're a permanent but the controller mostly prefers having the team come in physically anyways. They definitely need hiring more people to balance the work volume, for the accounting teams at least.

      Pros

      For such a great product, I would think they would be better run. Free lunch. Very laid back, "young" culture. Nice people.

      Cons

      No real leadership. Understaffed and badly staffed. No one I talked to in my department were there over a year signalling high turnover
