Supportive Work Environment - werkgeversreview Anonieme werknemer bij Ultima Genomics

Healthy culture, hands on experience, emphasis on technical innovation and good practices.

It is demanding but worth the effort once you see the end results

The technology is very interesting with good goals and development within the industry. Benefits like free lunches, snacks, and flexibility with hours were a plus. A seemingly good place for engineers specifically to get started and get experience in biotech. Coworkers are what make the job worth it.

Good company for engineers, bad for science. There is a big disconnect with upper management and the rest of the positions. Not a lot of growth in the science department, and lab techs/research associates are viewed as very replaceable and undervalued. The company being a “startup” is often used as an excuse for disorganization and deprioritizing a good management system for tasks and deadlines rather than improvements being made. Disappointing experience for employees eager to learn! Lab experience is not very transferable, which is a downside, but makes sense given the nature of the product.
