Excellent culture and promising future - Recensione dipendente - Senior Scientist presso 10x Genomics

Fast-paced environment with regular product updates to keep things fresh and interesting. 10x does a great job hiring high-quality candidates, so we have very strong teams, including managers. It makes it relatively easy to support products when customers are excited to bring them into their labs.

No standout complaints, though there are relatively slow promotion rates.

Many talented and hardworking colleagues Great technology in single cell and spatial omics

Some key decisions are made based on politics instead of science or technology. Some project leads don’t have the basic knowledge of the techniques and don’t know how to organize a project properly , but are still allowed to lead the projects due to their personal relationship with the senior leaders. People who are closer to the senior leaders are promoted faster or hired with a higher title (sometimes don’t even follow the normal procedures of hiring or promotion), regardless of their contributions or technical skills. At the same time, many folks who do the heavy lifting work are ignored. Some people tend to over-advertise or even manipulate their results, which lead to a huge waste of time and money for others in R&D since the results are not reliable and repeatable. There are feedback surveys each year, but the concerns are rarely discussed seriously.
