Strong dev ops team but insular, cliquey culture - Recensione dipendente - Software Engineer presso Labviva

Labviva is a genuinely great place to work. The company has built a culture that feels both positive and collaborative, people here really care about each other and about the mission. There’s a strong emphasis on diversity, inclusion, and creating space for everyone’s ideas to be heard. You’re encouraged to bring your full self to work, and leadership models that openness every day. The environment is fast-paced (it’s a growing startup!) but it’s also supportive. Colleagues are smart, driven, and approachable, and there’s a real sense of teamwork across departments. The leadership team is transparent and accessible, they communicate through all hands meetings and are genuinely invested in professional development and employee well-being.

Typical growing pains of a scaling startup, but leadership listens and acts on feedback.

Labviva attracts some of the sharpest, kindest people I’ve worked with in my career. The culture is genuinely collaborative, everyone is willing to jump in and solve problems together, whether it’s engineering, product, or sales. Leadership encourages new ideas, experimentation, and personal growth. You get to work on meaningful problems that impact how science is done, and that sense of purpose is very real. It’s rare to find a team that combines technical depth, commercial focus, and humanity in equal measure.

Like any fast-growing startup, priorities can shift quickly and processes are still maturing. You need to be comfortable with some ambiguity and ready to help build structure as the company scales
