Toxic Work Environment with Poor Leadership - Scientist 10x Genomics Employee Review

Fast-paced environment with regular product updates to keep things fresh and interesting. 10x does a great job hiring high-quality candidates, so we have very strong teams, including managers. It makes it relatively easy to support products when customers are excited to bring them into their labs.

No standout complaints, though there are relatively slow promotion rates.

Lunch is provided, snacks and fruits.

The company culture does not appear to be very employee-focused. There is limited recognition or appreciation for employees’ contributions, which can make the work environment feel discouraging over time. Office politics also seem to be a factor, and employees may need to spend extra effort navigating internal dynamics rather than focusing purely on their work. The workload can be heavy, with long working hours and expectations that may not always feel balanced or sustainable. Overall, the environment may be challenging for someone who values respect, transparency, work-life balance, and a strong culture of appreciation.
