Pluspunten

Most of the people are pretty great.

Minpunten

- 120% effort for 80% of industry standard pay. - Ineffective managers. - Questionable business strategy. - Project managers don’t manage projects. - Management plays favorites. - Talent is leaving in droves across all departments and tiers, faster than they can be replaced. - Executive team is woefully out of touch and/or don’t care about their employees. Regarding inadequate compensation: “If they want more money then they can leave.” During an icebreaker: “One interesting thing about me is that I am very wealthy.” “I have a great new house in Del Mar.” - Benefits are being whittled away. - Insurance premiums have increased drastically. They used to be fully paid. - Company 401k contributions are no longer fully vested from day 1. It’s now over 4 years. - Company weeklong holiday shutdown has been taken away. - Break room food has been reduced to almost nothing. The perks that used to make the lower salary bearable are gone.

There is regrettably a lot of misinformation here that warrants a response; $0 cost benefit options, 100% immediate vesting of 401k, holiday shutdown replaced with floating holidays, breakroom shareables replaced with individually wrapped foods. The current labor shortage and aggressive recruiting is having a nationwide affect, and a mid-year pay review for market calibration was conducted. I appreciate knowing this perception and for the opportunity to respond.

Pluspunten

- Even if you don't have a huge amount of experience, there's still a chance you'll get hired because many managers look for a good attitude over a perfect resume - Collaborative environment - Visibility given to non-scientists in the form of Journal Club and Breakfast and Learn - They've never had a mass layoff, which is saying something in today's climate - The company is small enough that Jeff Miller probably knows your name - Free snacks in the break room, and unlimited fizzy water because they splurged on a Bevi - If you work here, particularly in R&D, you're getting paid to learn a lot of cool new stuff - Pay was pretty decent

Minpunten

- They've never had a mass layoff because the CFO is the most fiscally conservative person on the planet, which means it can be VERY difficult to get promoted sometimes. In the choice between 'I get more money per year but twenty people lose their jobs' and 'everyone stays put but the promotion I've been working towards for two years gets denied,' I'm obviously going to pick the second one, but it still sucks. This is in no way a dig on their CFO - she's lovely and I do not envy her position - it just is what it is. - Not as many wellness incentives as some of the bigger companies - Some managers can be a little difficult, but it's not like this is unique to Invivoscribe - Hybrid work isn't really a thing anymore, which is kind of a bummer
