Pros

The team manages to keep a positive culture of collaboration, on-the-go improvements, strive towards excellence, balanced with many team activities outside work, including hikes, yoga/gym work outs, team breakfasts, volunteering and so on. The mission to bridge the gender gap in medical research and product innovation motivates everyone on the team (and each other) to do the best work they could do and see the bigger impact they have. The company also has a hybrid model of work and you get to balance your days in the office with remote work. 4-day work week / FlexiFridays are a great way to let people organise their work best.

Cons

Depends on the role you are considering and what you're after, but if you require full-time office hours this may not be your place as it blends a hybrid model and supports flexible working styles. It's a fast-paced environment that adapts to changes quickly, which is not necessarily a con.

Pros

I loved my time at Daye as that experience unlocked a host of opportunities for me, both personally and professionally! I was given ample chances to grow by leading key company projects. I would also want to emphasize how collaborative and open-minded the team was. Every suggestion or recommendation was thoroughly evaluated based on its merit rather than random preconceptions! I would definitely recommend Daye as a place to work and grow!

Cons

Nothing particular beyond the typical high intensity of working at a startup. I wouldn’t say it was terrible and management definitely strived to make it easier to cope with by providing free access to coaching and other relevant resources.

Pros

- The company’s mission and vision are strong and inspiring on paper. - A few talented and hardworking individuals genuinely try to do their best despite the environment. - Provides an opportunity to learn resilience and how to navigate difficult workplace dynamics.

Cons

- Efforts to do the right thing are punished rather than encouraged. - Major decisions that affect employees are often communicated poorly, with little transparency or respect for those impacted. - HR lacks independence, with key roles tied too closely to the founder/CEO, creating zero trust if you raise concerns. - Leadership can present a supportive face, but when real issues are raised, promises are made and then quietly withdrawn. Instead of addressing concerns, criticism is redirected toward the employee, often with harsh and demoralising feedback. - Strong favouritism for “yes-man” behaviour rather than merit or constructive contributions. - Gossip and cliques foster a toxic, divisive culture that undermines collaboration and trust.
