People First Company, positive culture with amazing science - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso Encodia

Smallish team but good, hard-working people and interesting science. Very competitive pay, solid benefits, unlimited PTO, and a volunteer group that plans fun social events. Seems like people get promoted quickly. Lots of awards for staff who go above and beyond. 24/7 free food and drinks come in clutch if you stay late or come in during off-hours.

Need to hire more people to support existing workload and prepare for growth

The immediate folks you work with are kind and considerate. The culture club is fantastic. I thought the pay was fair and competitive.

Upper management is the biggest problem. They don’t answer questions directly and instead go on long tangential explanations that never circle back to the crux of the issue. Encodia hired very top heavy and grew too fast for where the company was. This was its largest downfall. When asked why the answer was subpar. Instead of hiring more hands in the lab, they kept hiring directors to manage dashboards and appease one another through often useless metrics.
