Great Place to work - Recensione dipendente - Dipendente anonimo presso MapLight Therapeutics

Flexible, empowering to own your own projects

In need of more structure

Promising pipeline that has the potential to make a significant positive impact for patients in need. Experienced non-clinical teams that have done great work in tackling complex scientific challenges. A lot of interesting science is being performed.

There is a very “yes ma’am” culture insofar that there is a very in-balanced dynamic within the company. Certain people and groups make decisions in a silo and the other impacted functions are just expected to execute. No feedback is ever solicited or considered. Overall, there is poor team cohesion as there is minimal effort between cross functional teams to understand each other. Certain teams dictate without consideration or understanding of the implications of their decision (i.e. additional drug supply does not just appear out of thin air in 3 months) and the other teams are left to try to achieve unrealistic deliverables.
