none - Recensione dipendente - Research Scientist presso LakePharma

LakePharma is a growing company in a great market position. There's still a lot of the startup culture around here so proficient people can rise through the ranks quickly unlike in bigger companies. Benefits keep getting better; there are good medical benefits, 401K matching, and employees start with three weeks vacation, one week of sick time and 9 paid holidays,

As Lakepharma is still a growing company, so sometimes responsibilities are not as clearly defined as in older, more stayed institutions. This presents a growth opportunity for people who are willing to be part of the solution, but can be difficult to deal with for others.

-When I was hired on-board there wasn't a standard training session, so a lot of people had different methods to accomplish something, which caused confusion -There are bonuses which are nice, but there isn't a transparent way of how the bonuses are rewarded and in terms of base salary I believe it is a bit on the lower side, and they don't offer raises automatically unless you ask for it -There isn't a high learning curve for people who want to learn more -There was an issue of air quality at one of the locations, and belmont location doesn't have A/C
