Uncertainty - Team Leader Oxitec Employee Review

Strong worth ethic across the organization. Everyone strives to live up to the mission and objectives.

Growing/expanding very fast, which increases workload on staff.

Decent pay although it doesn't feel that way in an expensive area. Easy to feel busy and productive everyday.

Horrible work environment promoted by management. Promotions and disciplinary intervention are solely dependent on favoritism. Employee performance does not determine their treatment. Individuals who are vindictive, lazy, or incompetent can get away with it. Management was out of touch and rarely witnessed actual lab and field operations. This resulted in poor communication about rules which were usually only invoked to retaliate. Harassment was also prevalent. General demeaning comments about women as a class, sexual comments about appearances, blatant staring, and persistent asking out by coworkers made coming to work extra miserable.
