Low point of my career
|
|
Most staff are highly competent and dedicated, despite poor salary and high responsibility.
|
Long working hours expected with no overtime payment or time back.
Line managers have no training for the role - soft skills often lacking.
Huge problem with nepotism.
Lower lab staff are treated as worker bees with no professional development prospects.
During my 3+ years at DNAe I felt extremely undervalued and frustrated, and since moving on have excelled in a company that recognises and rewards my work. Leaving was the best decision for my career and personal sense of worth.

Value your employees, occasional free pizza is not the solution to staff retention.
Avoid application of political and ego-based decision making to scientific decisions.

Lies, deceit, gossip, poor management and terrible culture.
|
|
You can quit if you want to!
|
Management are selfish, greedy and essentially useless! They take their wage and slowly dig the company into the ground. Development of junior staff is the last priority, technical excellence is a thing of mythology and a potentially brilliant technology is going to be lost to poor management and greedy leadership.

Exciting tech with great potential
|
|
The technology is potentially amazing. Each day you are facing new challenging problems.
The mission is a daily motivational boost.
The co-workers are nice and the multi cultural environment brings that extra to the office. The Social and Sports club is pretty cool!
The location is definitely a plus.
|
Some of the management is simply not competent. Some just are sticking around not adding value. DNAe can’t afford that.
Managers are not always accountable for their teams success.
At times lack of communication becomes the biggest limiting factor.

There should be more performance review based rewards to encourage employees to go above and beyond.
There should be performance reviews bottom to top. (ie 360 of employees to their managers)

Company with great potential
|
|
- Exciting research on cutting edge technology that will transform diagnostics world and save lives. Opportunities to work in a company like this don't come up too often.
- You'll able to actively contribute to development of the product, lead research projects and see the fruits of your work being implemented. Due to a relatively small size of the company every engaged science / engineering employee has a say in shaping product development. You feel part of a bigger thing and your opinions are valued. The company success if your success and that's what makes you get up and go to work every day.
- Friendly work environment with talented and dedicated colleagues.
- Opportunities to grow and develop for engaged and ambitious people that strive for excellence. We have seen some exemplary junior staff being promoted twice withing less than a year. There is a generous training budget for every employee.
- New CEO is very passionate about the company and the people and shows exceptional works ethics and professionalism. This is a huge change compared to how company was run before 2019.
- Many initiatives were launched this year to improve the way we work and operate as an organisation (communication, talent management, performance management and promotions, pay reviews, employee satisfaction, review of benefits, new ways for employee recognition and incentivisation). Just last month company issued stock options to all employees and more good changes are on the way.
- Thriving social activities thanks to Sports&Social team (e.g. secret Santa, amazing Christmas party, summer party, quiz nights, numerous occasions to celebrate company milestones with pizza and drinks).
|
- Aggressive timelines may be challenging and you may find yourself working long hours and under high pressure from time to time.
- DNAe is a small company that has expanded rapidly within the last few years. As a result some processes are either lacking or not fit for purpose anymore. Communication and decision-making can appear fragmented and disorganised.
- Not all employees remain engaged in their work and it has a visible impact on the performance of the organisation.

- We need to recognise and address our shortcomings when it comes to company organisation and processes.
- We need to listen carefully to staff feedback.
- We need to make efforts to attract exceptional talent, on which the future of this company depends.
- We need to be much more realistic when it comes to company goals, programme milestones and management expectations.

It is a place that the misinformation helps to create lots of gossiping, people are in constant fear to lose their jobs due to unrealistic deadlines and restructuring. There are some ethnic groups who speak their own language to gossip as well even if we are in English spoken country.

Awful company
|
|
Location within London and access to transport
|
Worst company ever. Unrealisatic deadlines and arrogant team leads. Many line managers aren't trained in management and don't know how to treat their employees with respect. Long work hours too.

Slow paced for a company with such aggressive deadlines. ineffective people management.
|
|
Challenging problems to solve, a few very talented individuals to work with. A great product for a fantastic cause. Good location. Clear efforts from CEO to build a better business.
|
Chaos middle management, childish staff, immature outlook, lack of technical rigour. Slow paced, Very few opportunities to develop as an individual and gain technical skills or management. Only a few members of staff to really learn much from in terms of technical skills, and they rarely stick around for more than a year! Staff retention is a problem, especially the talented ones.
The supermarket mentality, many of the workers want to take the company for a ride, the company allows it. Many individuals with little investment in the success of the company, makes for an uninspiring place to work.
Very little chance for promotion, new titles constantly popping up between levels, making each promotion pointless, the goal posts constantly moved.
