Pluspunten

- Flexible remote work policy — officially one day in the office for Athens employees, but this is not strictly enforced. - Decent benefits such as monthly meal allowance and health insurance. - The company’s mission is meaningful — supporting professionals with accurate information to help patients with genetic diseases.

Minpunten

- The work environment has become toxic. Culture has deteriorated significantly over the past two years, with leadership showing little interest in employee morale. - The CEO openly maintains an attitude of “people can leave, we’ll replace them,” which contributes to a deep sense of disposability across teams. - Layoffs were announced to entire teams without any context or feedback, adding to the instability and lack of transparency. - Managers often lack leadership and people skills. There are no regular 1:1s, no goal-setting processes, and no real feedback or coaching. - No career development. There are no clear growth paths or internal opportunities, leaving employees disengaged and stuck. - Tools and frameworks are outdated, and there's a noticeable resistance to adopting modern, more efficient solutions. - The product is highly complex, and as experienced employees continue to leave, onboarding and knowledge sharing have become major pain points. - What was once a supportive company culture has disappeared. The CEO previously said “Saphetor is its people,” but that sentiment no longer holds true.

Pluspunten

Saphetor zet zich in om in het juiste tempo te groeien, in tegenstelling tot velen in de ruimte die last hebben gehad van voortijdige schaalvergroting.

Minpunten

Werken bij een wereldwijd groeiend bedrijf betekent soms dat je niet iedereen tegelijkertijd ziet! Dat gezegd hebbende, de bijeenkomst voor alle bedrijven in Athene is het wachten waard!

Pluspunten

High growth market offering with a growing suite of applications serving clinicians and researchers around the globe. The Saphetor team is really good at aggregating, harmonizing, standardizing, and keeping up to date with human genome data. A large community of over 300,000 users from over 150 countries getting millions of questions answered on the human genome search engine. Well disciplined founder and visionary focused on providing high value for customers.

Minpunten

You know you are in a high growth start up when you are constantly not able to keep up with all the market demand.
