Pros

Great people especially senior leadership such as CEO and senior directors who always encourage you. Finished my PhD last year and worked at another company before joining Assay Development team at Spear Bio. Company culture is great and work is highly satisfying.

Cons

I worked here for six months so far and haven’t observed any significant issues that needs to be said on a public forum. Any issues that I have noticed has been directly communicated with the senior leadership with them open to making changes.

Pros

In a team of less than 50 people, your work is always on display. You’re able to work on impactful projects and see your contributions make a real difference. Because of this, there’s a lot of room to learn quickly and take on new responsibilities. The environment at Spear Bio rewards initiative and ownership.

Cons

Being a startup, there are often tight deadlines to meet in order to continue growing at a rapid rate. Processes can change frequently as new discoveries are made, which requires adaptability. However, if you’re someone who wants to make an impact, your work can shine through and be implemented as early as the next day.

Pros

Promising technology, employees are smart and hardworking, hiring team able to bring on high quality talent. Compensation is competitive with more established companies.

Cons

Toxic culture stemming from senior leadership. Though there is a high talent concentration within the company, those people are not able to live up to their potential due to micromanagement and poor planning. The people that care the most about their work’s impact on customers and the scientific community are seen to burn out. Many people leave this company without another position lined up.
