Cushy, but probably not everyone's cup of tea!

Pros

-Campus perks: free gym, meals -People: smart, motivated, helpful -Work life balance: 9-5 (or 10-4 for some) hours, company holidays, reasonable deadlines

Cons

-Lack of focus: dynamic and fast-moving... to the point where deliverables suffer -Lack of career development opportunities: no tuition reimbursement, formal mentoring. I do not feel pushed to develop new skills and grow into new roles and responsibilities. -It's a bit of a 'boys club' -Base pay and relocation/signing bonus are below market

Incredible place to work

Pros

I love working for insitro. People are easy to work with, hard working, smart and very collaborative. Leadership and management care about your well being and are action driven. If there’s room for improvement you are encouraged to give feedback and something will be done about it. I have also been given ample room to grow and learn new skills. My professional development is taken seriously and my managers are always open to find ways to help me grow or learn things that I’m interested in. Not to mention the vision and mission of the company is incredibly inspiring. I feel absolutely humbled and grateful to work for such a great company and with such an amazing team.

Cons

The challenges I think insitro faces are the growing pains of a fast growing start up. How to restructure things and how the dynamic of the company changes as you go from 40 people to over 100 and beyond is challenging. However I feel that the open environment for feedback and the action driven focus of leadership gives me faith that even as the company grows it will adapt and maintain the wonderful culture and standard of excellence that I’ve come to know and love.

A big disappointment behind the shiny banner

Pros

a very good location, smart academic scientists

Cons

little culture, very academic environment (in many bad ways), little advancement opportunities, days of talking that drives anyone mad, no plan for success, very menial uninteresting work (they will treat you as a cashier in the store or a monkey slave technician) and a very shiny banner, you will feel relieved flushing it down. If you don't like it, apparently you need to pay them to leave.
