Pros

I can’t really think of any pros at this place apart from the stationary cupboard I guess

Cons

The location is dreadful middle of nowhere. If your car breaks down you basically can’t get into work. The managers are all so unorganised and very cliquey and have favourites. There’s no progression or pay rise because the company is so small, they can’t afford it. There are some staff within the company who I’ve witnessed bullying junior staff, and they think it’s okay because it’s just the culture. There’s a high turn over of staff despite it being such a small company because of the horrible environment sadly

Pros

Fantastic lab equipment, supportive line management when it was built from a start up

Cons

New management take over managed extremely badly. Many people pushed out so they could reduce numbers without offering redundancy, key people not retained. Unfortunately the Affimer platform is no longer supported.
