Life at CellCarta - Biosample Operator I CellCarta Employee Review

Very good projects and a lot challenging

I don’t have any bad comments about this company

Good inter-departmental communication. Managers and immediate director to my department were both excellent communicators and extremely supportive of their employees. Work life balance was great and benefits were quite good as well.

The pharma and CRO space is struggling very hard right now. 6 months after being hired, we had our first major lay off. After another 6 months they made even deeper cuts. Between that lay off and myself being laid off I started to notice many coworkers emails suddenly being deactivated or that they were replaced on projects due to them leaving or being quietly laid off. Hopefully they can turn things around, but I would keep one foot out the door if seeking employment with CellCarta. Other than that, there was always some disconnect between teams in other countries and time zones in terms of following SOPs for data or general urgency. This disconnect would often create an extreme sense of urgency to get deliveries to clients on time that could have been solved with better communication and better team leading and error correction in other sites. Lastly, some programs and projects were not very efficient and created less efficient systems than there could have been for completing deliveries and solving problems. Additionally, these systems encouraged a lot of extra busy work that could have been solved in a more efficient manner.
