Adimab reviews

The culture can be toxic. They take work hard play hard too seriously especially if you do not have a family. This is a young company because they want people who they can "work like a dog". The "play" does not make up for the 60 hour work week. There are some great people working here however upper management and one person in HR are very toxic. Management is promoted based only on their abilities as a scientist, not at managing employees. They don't seem interested in learning how to manage people, HR will coddle them, and do not know how to give feed back. HR does not keep anything confidential, one person in particular is catty and manipulative. She has no empathy and should not be working with people.

You really have to have thick skin with the work hard/play hard culture. Some people have a great work life balance while others work late hours and live in fear of never having done enough. There's rampant favoritism amongst management and decisions abut you are made very quickly - you're either in the inner circle or you're not. There is ZERO emotional safety, feedback is not welcomed or taken seriously; even if delivered nothing is done about it. While I worked there I feared approaching HR with issues because of their inability to build trust with employees. HR is PATHOLOGICAL about promoting from within, even when key competencies are lacking, which makes the culture highly inbred and stale. There's no investment in manager development, which means managers are far behind best practices in the industry and have no idea how to coach and grow employees, set expectations or deliver feedback, let alone receive feedback. The company thinks that an occasional trip to a cool location can mitigate the toxic culture. There's something truly special in the quality of the science and the platform - if only HR cared to proactively grow the culture and empower people to build it together it could be such a fantastic place to work ...
