Company with potential - Anonymous employee Blue Marble Biomaterials Employee Review

There are multiple opportunities to learn new things to help yourself and the company grow. With such a refined niche in the industry we work in it makes it pretty fun to work in because of that cutting edge nature. There aren't a ton of people here so we all know each other pretty well and we keep good relationships with each other, and it doesn't hurt to have that positivity when you spend most of each day working together.

Young companies have growing pains, which Blue Marble has gotten through in most cases. Communication can be difficult but it's another hurdle to climb over.

The Blue Marble team is both diverse and collaborative. The capabilities of our team range a vast spectrum, including experts in machinery to experts in microbiology. As an R&D scientist I’m able to bounce ideas off of people in production, operations, and facilities. This has been one of my favorite aspects about working at Blue Marble and provides for a great work culture. I enjoy working and interacting with every single member of this team. Additionally, the interface with the executive team is unlike any other business. The team is kept in the loop about current business plans, strategies, current partners, and future partners. As an early career industrial scientist, I have learned an immense amount at Blue Marble and look forward to any new projects sent my way.

Blue Marble is a growing biotech business in Missoula, Montana and wages may not match similar companies in Boston or Seattle. However, the plus side is that you get to live in Missoula, Montana. Because the company is in a stage of growth there has been restructuring and new employees being added to the mix, but the current work culture and team dynamics are great. As with all biotech companies, this is a fast paced workplace working with deadlines.
