      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Friendly, collaborative, dedicated and smart coworkers, no hierarchy, everyone including the C Suite is authentic and down to earth. Mission driven and committed to innovation and keeping the "start up" culture alive. A place where you can be an independent thinker and have your ideas heard, and solve interesting problems.

      Cons

      This is not the place for you if you don't want to do hands-on work and expect to have robust processes and infrastructure in place.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Won't be able to keep track of time

      Cons

      They expect you to work from 8am to 7pm. Most of the positions are full time so that they do not have to pay overtime. The unlimited time off is a lie. The managers are aggressive about wanting time off. The working conditions are bad. No EH&S system in place. Food is placed right next to instruments with human blood samples. No barrier between office area and BSL2 environment. Termites in the building (Menlo Park), clogged sewer system, broken HVAC. For a Cell therapy company, they have only 2 flow cytometers.
