Thanks for your review. Do you mind sharing your location with us? This helps us know where we need to improve and what to work on — and specifically in regards to parking availability. In any swiftly growing company, parking and other logistics become harder to manage, but we’re committed to finding solutions that work for everybody. We’re disappointed to hear you weren’t satisfied with the company culture, but we’re glad that our benefits package and 401k served you well. We wish you the best in your new position.

Pros

Great co-workers, within the lab its a very positive and uplifting place to work.

Cons

There's no room to grow or progress within the company. Getting promoted takes forever, and they'll promise raises and promotions that will never come. There's no way to move up and no support or encouragement from management.
