Pros

The work that we were doing is fulfilling, the mission is great, 95% of the people that I worked with were amazing. Good benefits.

Cons

Rampant favoritism within the management team, company is disorganized on all levels, little to no career growth (supervisors sabotage their underling's opportunities), zero work-life balance, sketchy stuff happens in the lab, hemorrhaging money on buying new companies that don't bring much to the table, HR is useless, management is completely ineffective. Unlimited PTO, but how dare you want to take time off. There is no transparency. The ethos and culture that was so important in the beginning is completely dead.

Growth at any cost without the infrastructure to support it led to burnout in a lot of places.
