Great Cause, Poorly Managed

Pros

This company is truly devoted to curing cancer. There are lots of company-wide activities. There are wonderful people who work here. It's a good place to get started if you want to get into the industry and gain work experience.

Cons

Employees are not appreciated unless you have an "in" with a higher-up. HR is not careful with personal information--which is either circulated in the gossip chain or reported to managers without your consent. Middle managers don't truly manage, instead they do the bidding of the higher-ups with no interest in how decision making will effect their employees. Most who work here will leave quickly or stick around for the stock options.

Pros

Management cares very much for their employees - ESPP option, 401K contributions, free lunch and free breakfast once a week. Employees are respectful and friendly. Very much enjoyed my time at NewLink Genetics.

Cons

Senior management is out of touch with the daily operations required to complete projects, they play favorites with employees regardless of actual competency.
