Pros
The mission of the company is exciting, and the potential to make a meaningful impact in the biomanufacturing space is real. Working in a startup environment provides exposure to a wide range of responsibilities and opportunities to grow professionally. Many of the team members on-site are talented, collaborative, and genuinely care about the work and each other.
Cons
Executive leadership is located out of state and often felt disconnected from the daily operations and challenges faced by employees. Communication from leadership, particularly HR, is poor to non-existent—especially in critical matters like terminations and company updates. There have been serious issues with payroll being delivered late, sometimes by over a week, with little to no proactive communication. Employees are often expected to take on more hours and responsibilities without additional compensation or acknowledgment. Layoffs and organizational decisions happen abruptly, creating a sense of instability and mistrust.
