Don’t stay more than a year or two for introductory experience.

Pros

This is a good company if you have literally zero experience. You don’t need any scientific background or knowledge to work here.

Cons

This is the type of place that will change your departments upper management structure completely in secret. The upper managers (lab managers) are pretty useless at the job and they lead their lab with all the charisma of a wet cardboard box. This company aims to keep its retention rate low.

Business Outlook

Pros

Growing company, pays slightly better than most places. Decent benefits.

Cons

Office politics and popularity determine who gets promoted. You can work as a dedicated employee for years and your contributions and skills can be a boon to your team and company. However if you’re not chummy with the right people or a more introverted person, you're not getting that promotion you deserve. Unless you’re a straight white man. Bias against sex and race play a role too. If you’re an extroverted guy, you’ll likely love it here. Otherwise, do yourself a favor and keep searching elsewhere.

Cons

-Company is growing rapidly, but outside of its means. Resources are low -Pay is Below Average -Very quick burnout. Finding yourself working all hours and it still does not feel like enough -Very little growth opportunities or rewards -Disorganized and antiquated processes -Sales driven environment gets pushed on you in even more scientific functions -Poor company culture. They show more value towards their revenue than to the employees who are driving the organization.
