Pros

The technology is fairly simple and not innovative given that other companies have been using droplets long before 10x but the applications are exciting.

Cons

The company fabricates good reviews and removes bad reviews from Glassdoor. Management is terrible and egos are inflated . There is lots of head budding . There is a lack of respect between mid level management and employees.

Thank you for taking time to provide your review. I have to start by saying that the statements you made in your review are simply not true. I invite you to discuss your concerns in person so I can better understand where you are coming from. We want all employees to feel empowered to bring concerns to me or any of the managers, and to partner with us to develop solutions. 10x is committed to building a great culture and a place where people are excited to come to work. We strive to be an “employer of choice” and work hard toward that goal. Our most recent employee survey results support this with 91% of employees reporting that they are proud to work at 10x and 80% of employees report that they would recommend 10x as a great place to work. 98% reported that the products and services 10x provides are relevant and needed in the market today. We feel that success is earned and cannot be taken for granted. We also know that there are always many things for us to work on, especially given our fast pace of growth. With that in mind, we have been putting in place many different elements to support our employees and culture, including initiatives around career growth opportunities, training and inclusion.

Pros

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.

Cons

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

Pros

Many talented and hardworking colleagues Great technology in single cell and spatial omics

Cons

Some key decisions are made based on politics instead of science or technology. Some project leads don’t have the basic knowledge of the techniques and don’t know how to organize a project properly , but are still allowed to lead the projects due to their personal relationship with the senior leaders. People who are closer to the senior leaders are promoted faster or hired with a higher title (sometimes don’t even follow the normal procedures of hiring or promotion), regardless of their contributions or technical skills. At the same time, many folks who do the heavy lifting work are ignored. Some people tend to over-advertise or even manipulate their results, which lead to a huge waste of time and money for others in R&D since the results are not reliable and repeatable. There are feedback surveys each year, but the concerns are rarely discussed seriously.
