Pros
You get to work alongside some very intelligent people. Unfortunately, many of them end up leaving for companies that treat them properly.
Cons
Leadership is extremely pretentious and does not know how to run a successful company. As a result, Seed is having an identity crisis and is struggling to remain authentic and relevant. The CEO doesn’t have a genuine bone in her body and very much appears to be taking the strategy of “fake it till you make it.” The CSO is just there to collect a paycheck and has a foot out the door. The CMO came from a failed and delisted biotech company and is running Seed into the ground now too. Seed is a one trick pony who got lucky with DS-01–a now dated product that pales in comparison to what other companies are doing in the gut health space. Their new products are a poor attempt at a quick revenue boost without proper care and consideration for product longevity. It’s unlikely anyone will acquire this company and they’ll just keep spinning in circles until the capital is drained.
