Never good enough - Scientist Genomics For Life Employee Review

The colleagues I worked with were wonderful: Supportive, hard-working, good scientists.

Management was incompetent, particularly in regards to science, yet they were smug and patronising. They have extremely poor communication: either they would yell at staff for their own mistakes, or they were totally absent and uncontactable (which was better than being yelled at). Management has old-fashioned and backwards ideals and more than once I heard them express problematic views regarding religion, race, and gender. They pressure their staff to work overtime and weekends. I saw more than 10 brilliant scientists resign in the 6 months I worked there and I'm not surprised at all. The pay was not competitive. I left there with significant mental health issues and I had nightmares about work for months after I resigned.

The main pro is the location and it’s easy to get a job here.

Toxic workplace, disorganised, no proper training, no support and assistance and you are often yelled at or abused by the boss.
