Pros

There are some very talented, hard working people there who come to work everyday trying to help the company be successful in spite of the Leadership Team.

Cons

Where to start. Since may of 2018 when new leadership was put in place, over the past 1 .5yr the new Sr Leadership Team has driven out 5 C-level employees as well as the VP's/Functional Heads, not to mention several Director, Scientist and Associate level employees. And despite what should have been significant value inflection points (positive clinical data, alliances with major partners, initiation of clinical trails in significant disease areas), have driven the stock price well below book value.

Thank you for the comments, we appreciate feedback – good or bad. Thanks also for your contributions to the company over the 3 years you spent at Synlogic. As you know from having worked with us, we have been through a number of changes in structure, leadership, and programs over the last 12 months as we have continued to develop our technology and advance our projects. Many changes result from evolving business needs as we have moved more programs into the clinic. At each stage we have been focused on continuing to move important therapies forward through the clinic to patients, and trying to build a great company to work for. As our technology advances and our culture evolves we will continue to strive for excellence in both, always with employees and patients in mind. We are sorry to hear that you did not have a positive experience but we believe that these changes have been required as our platform and company matures. We wish you well for the next step in your career and hope it is a better fit for what you are looking for.
