- intelligent staff and co-workers who are mission driven - well designed product

Minpunten

- CEO regularly threatens to (and has) fired people over disagreeing with him - CEO has fired people with no history of feedback and without their direct manager's involvement, leading to an inability to produce and maintain a secure team - CEO regularly reflects and portrays personal failings as staff failures - CEO is unable to follow deadlines set by the team, frequently changing product requirements last minute and subsequently blaming team for missing deadline

Thanks for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you found the team and its goals to be outstanding (we agree!). Q Bio works very hard to hire excellent, capable individuals and remain open to conversation about challenges we encounter as a company with a big mission. We have worked to identify ways that progress tracking toward each milestone is more fully accessible to every team member, and we engage in more frequent roadmap reviews so that our people feel confident and clear about both our short and long-term goals. Our all-hands regularly close with an open Q&A about company priorities and overview updates, and we truly embrace those times we can dig in together, and figure out where more clarity and support are needed. Nothing is harder than parting ways with a team member, particularly in the early stages where the culture of a company is the sum of its cast of talented characters. In the rare case where company policy has been violated, we feel it is fair to the rest of the team to respond with swift and sincere decision making. Fortunately, it’s very rare that this happens, and we are proud that our inspiring and accomplished multi-disciplinary team has continued to shine. - HR

Pluspunten

We're changing healthcare in a way that will save a lot of lives. There's lots of other great things - world class scientists, serial entrepreneur founder, really great teams, great focus as a company, and a well-defined roadmap. But for me the biggest pro is the vision and a belief that we can do it. Since joining I've watched the company gain more focus, and the vision crystallize with time. The roadmap is fleshed out, and we're looking to continue growing to accomplish our vision

Minpunten

Always risky to try to change the world. But the free market often rewards risk.
