      Pros

      Great team of international, young, hard working people.

      Cons

      Members of senior management are arrogant cowboys. They do not appreciate the talent they have. No focus on training or developing staff abilities. Huge emphasis on proving one's worth. No human decency.

      Hi there, Sara here, HR Director since Nov 2019.Thanks for taking the time to share your experience, even if it seems you didn't have a great time. I know things have changed and we now have a focus on learning and people development across the organization, we can always get better. We currently focus on continuous improvement and this includes our people's experience. I am an optimist and so believe that we are not "beyond redemption". We will keep striving to become a great place to work, where people collaborate and in doing so achieve great leaps towards making great science open to all. - Sara

      Pros

      Previous reviews are right, the pros and cons of the company are simple. The biggest pro are your peers, a kind, clever, international bunch work who are hardworking, welcoming, interesting, great bakers and great fun! It makes you want to do your job and it is what counts for your motivation.

      Cons

      The big con is the senior management in many departments, who just do not have experience or willingness to gain skills in managing people. Things aren't helped by HR, who dodge responsibility time and again. The net result is that departures have become regular, and morale is low.

      Pros

      This will be one of the smartest groups of people you ever get to work with. Lots of PhDs. Lots of postdocs. Really motivated crowd.

      Cons

      There is always more work than people. The upper management does not value the very high quality of people they have. They treat people like they should be grateful for working there rather than recognizing people for the effort they are all putting in.
