Business outlook
Pros
Working on innovative diagnostics gives hands-on experience with novel molecular biology approaches, which is valuable for career development. The team is collaborative and approachable, and there’s opportunity to learn a wide range of lab skills, especially in PCR, dPCR, and nucleic acid extraction.
Cons
Career progression is unclear, despite taking on more responsibility and performing consistently, promotion opportunities are limited and not well-communicated. Workload can be high, and recognition for extra effort is inconsistent. Like many startups, job roles can be fluid without clear boundaries or expectations.
