Pros

Strong management and very solid technical capabilities in antibody discovery. The platform is impressive and the science is genuinely strong. People are smart, collaborative and easy to work with.

Cons

There’s a lot of emphasis on “team culture,” but it often feels more like lip service than something you experience day to day. Leadership seems well-meaning but not fully in touch with ground realities. In particular, HR leadership is overly political.
