Pros

Development of product and services in an interesting and exciting field of research. Work/Life balance is ok.

Cons

A select few within the company are clear favorites while others are treated less than poorly. Loyalty is not rewarded, back stabbing and openly degrading comments are common from some in senior management positions which translates down to all groups. All at a very low salary level. I would recommend to stay away.

Pros

A really stellar team of scientists and staff, who do creative and innovative work. Institutional knowledge and expertise in epigenetic techniques at a level that is unparalleled outside of a few academic labs. A small but very complete team, from manufacturing to chemistry to bioinformatics. Principally serving RUO and services markets, it would seem that there could be significant upside in the clinical testing space.

Cons

Housing costs in San Diego County rose 56% in two years 2020-2022 compared to growing 5% annually for the previous 6 years, according to Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis data, and have only drifted higher since, helping to make San Diego the most expensive US city to live in 2023-2024
