Pros

Coworkers were wonderful and passionate about their work.

Cons

Everything else: -Managers incapable of managing people or products. Most were promoted based on tenure or 'stoke' rather than competence. -Toxic culture of management blaming lower level employees for their poor judgement and mistakes. -False promises of job growth and career advancement. Higher-ups and HR string employees along without ever acting on big talk. -Managers allowed to bully and intimidate employees who suggest improvements or changes to the status quo.

Innovative tech, dismal leadership, no vision

Pros

Core technology platform with huge potential. Company's founders brought inspiring vision for how sustainable technology can be incorporated into products.

Cons

Innovative tech platform is unlikely to find success under current leadership. The founding team who carried all the vision has been pushed out by new leadership. Current leadership is motivated to cash out on biotech innovation, but lacks the cohesive direction, experience and strategy to actually get there.
