Pros

Spear has an engaging culture. Definitely a work hard play hard collegial environment. Co-workers are pretty chill, and willing to help. No big company politics, everyone chips in to get the job done. Plus the company is working on some cool technologies to save lives, which is exciting.

Cons

The project time line is tight, which can lead to pressure. On the flip side, the people around you, including managers, are eager to help. Finger pointing is rare. Most time people here tend to collaborate together.

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.
