Is this your company?

Toxic work atmosphere and really poor facilities. Not a place for science. - Postdoctoral Fellow Wistar Institute Employee Review

Pros

Nothing. It really has anything good.

Cons

The worst of all is the extremely toxic atmosphere. Old laboratories and facilities, no organization at all and no options for career development. Just another publish or perish fake science place. Really disappointing experience working here.

Pros

Wistar is a world-renowned biomedical research institute, which adds strong credibility to your CV. You gained hands-on experience in advanced immunology, virology, and translational projects (e.g., HIV reservoir, CRISPR, inflammasomes).

Cons

Unlike bigger universities, institutes sometimes have restricted access to certain facilities or collaborations. Job stability may depend on external grants, which can cause uncertainty.
