Pros

The experience was great and I was able to experience the ins and outs of a working lab. There was opportunity to gain further training across the lab and into more senior roles.

Cons

The transition and expansion of the lab was difficult for the laboratory staff. The work can be monotonous at times.

Pros

The most rewarding aspect of working at the company is undoubtedly the presence of a handful of exceptional individuals. These dedicated and talented colleagues contribute to a positive and collaborative work environment, fostering a sense of teamwork and mutual support that greatly enhances the overall work experience. However, this comes in stark contrast to systemic issues of poor management....

Cons

Working at Preventx has proven to be a challenging and disheartening experience due to a toxic work culture permeating throughout the company. The pervasive issues stem from poor management practices, including a failure to meet project deadlines and an alarming turnover among board members. The board's lack of leadership and compassion exacerbates the negative atmosphere, further hindered by the company's failure to address instances of bullying and favouritism. A typical day at Preventx involves navigating an intensive workload with unrealistic deadlines, creating significant pressure for employees. Management decisions often lack common sense and practical knowledge, contributing to a challenging work environment that affects both employee morale and work-life balance. Moreover, persistent issues in the tech and lab domains add an extra layer of frustration, hindering operational efficiency and contributing to an overall dysfunctional culture. The company's trend of forcing out valuable staff, orchestrated by the HR department, weakens the core strength of Preventx and jeopardises its overall success. In summary, Preventx is marked by a toxic work culture, unreasonable workload, and a lack of effective leadership. Potential applicants should approach job opportunities here with caution, considering the various challenges that may impact their overall job satisfaction and professional growth.

Preventx Response

Preventx take feedback seriously and our priority is improving the Preventx experience for our current employees. Glassdoor isn’t our primary mechanism for gathering feedback on the employee experience but it is always good to hear different perspectives. The culture of an organisation can be affected heavily by a few people and when those people move on in whatever way the culture changes for the better. In terms of actionable feedback from leavers, we feel we get better information from exit interviews because of the way they’re conducted. They also cover everyone and not just the really satisfied or really unhappy. We encourage all of our leavers to to take part in an exit interview where they have the chance to leave detailed feedback.
