Making a deal with the devil has it's rewards - Anonymous employee Locus Biosciences Employee Review

Business Outlook

Pros

Fast promotions with salary increases.

Cons

The company is run by The c(ult)-suite, not science. If you drink the Kool-Aid and inflate the CEO ego, you too can climb over the backs of others to reach the top. Science does not drive decisions here. Instead, an uneducated (in science) CEO rants until random ideas spout out, the c-suite laps up every word as they formulate some chaotically hurried and under investigated plan to throw at the poor overworked, highly educated day to day employees, who are regularly forced to hear and react to "pivot" more times in a month than Ross could yell out in Friends.

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

Great environment to learn new instruments and new things.

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