Svantaggi
company prioritizes profits over mission. executive leadership does not deeply understand the chemistry of synthetic oligo manufacturing- most hold MBAs, or engineering degrees. few have molecular biology degrees. since being acquired the company has not staffed executive positions internally leading to a top down cultural shift that has pushed away many veteran employees. career mobility is virtually none. there are several people in the engineering department who's title hasn't changed in > 10 years. they stayed because it is a stable and challenging place to work and historically had a great culture, but since being acquired, much of that has been lost.
