Think twice before working here - Scientist Locus Biosciences Employee Review

Pros

You are given a chance to learn a lot of new skills. There is a lot of potential in the science and you get to address some really interesting questions. The lower level employees are great colleagues and become friends.

Cons

The long term scientific strategy of the company doesn't exist. Past scientific decisions were not well thought out and nothing is learned from previous mistakes. You will be worked to the point where you lose yourself completely (stop engaging in hobbies, decline in ability to complete household chores/projects, relationships suffer, etc.). There aren't any benefits to offset the intense work expectations as employees are not treated as people, but a means to an end. Upper management uses lies, manipulation, and fear tactics to try to get employees to stay. The business is poorly organized with ever-changing objectives.

Pros

I have great workers! Also, I've been able to work on a few different projects in different departments (R&D, manufacturing, and clinical) and have been given a lot of responsibility. My work seems to be appreciated and I've been regularly promoted. Finally, our drug seems to be doing really well in the clinic, and TBH, killing bacteria with engineered viruses is probably the most exciting thing I could be doing.

Cons

Long hours sometimes and changing priorities

Pros

Great environment to learn new instruments and new things.

Cons

Toxic work environment. Everyone seems nice but they are the same people who will snitch on you for favors from management.
