Pros

Really hardworking folks. Completely obsessed with making cellular agriculture a reality. Every member of the R&D team is consumed with hacking this problem. New ideas and critical thinking are infectious in the company. Wonderfully open debate culture where people grow into rock star scientists. Work hard, but also play hard. Expectation of mandatory fun with rest of company. Darts, ping pong, caption contests, raves, axe throwing, costume wearing, talking like a pirate day-ing, Dogpatch Saloon-ing - Mandatory here at Wildtype.

Cons

Did I mention lots of work? If you are not passionate about giving your all to solving really complex problems facing the world, this is not the job for you.

Pros

Some amazing and friendliest people to work with

Cons

Toxic work culture with extreme egos to compensate for the lack of technical skills. Pettiness seems to be at the core of the company culture where the loudest voice wins regardless of rationale.
