Pros
Everyone is brilliant, from the CEO to the techs to the Discovery scientists and Bioprocessing folks. Nobody works here if they don't care deeply about the future of the planet - our CEO doesn't need a job and he works 24/7 because he believes this is the best way to buffer our agricultural systems for the future. That attitude really does trickle down. Compensation is just shy of the industry standard, which is incredible for such a young company that's still burning cash. I can see this group sticking together and selling products for many years to come.
Cons
Company culture is a bit old and corporate if you're not in the lab. Expect collared shirts and slacks with dress shoes. Expect to work odd, long hours - though that's the nature of the work. As is the case with most small companies, everyone has to wear a thousand hats, which is great unless you're a PhD with 10 years industry experience doing repetitive, manual labwork. There haven't been as many all-hands-on-deck situations lately, but the summer of 2015 was rough. You'll likely work from home and on the weekends.
