Pros

The benefits were amazing and the culture was amazing. Very flexible and encouraged independence while working on breakthrough technologies in IVD assay development.

Cons

This was the second time getting laid off so I can safely assume that this time it was mismanagement in the company and not just a lucky project decision. Their costs were too large and the stock plummeted.
