Pros
- Good benefits package and the company works to increase those benefits - Amazing office for headquarters with fully stocked staff kitchen - Start-up atmosphere allows for growth and quick implementation of new ideas - Bonuses available for high achievers - Work from home & maintain your own schedule outside of "core hours" Elligo wants to disrupt the current clinical research set up and has a lot of motivation and smart people on its side. Every employee has an opportunity to speak up about possible improvements and if you're driven and willing to accept the wild nature of a start-up, you can go places here!
Cons
- Employees outside of Austin are not guaranteed a decent place to work (crammed into closets, etc.) - Communication problems due to remote company set up - Poor management hierarchy - upper management is too far removed from the daily work being completed at the site level leading to unrealistic expectations - Poor resourcing and miscalculated forecasting - Bonuses are unattainable for some staff due to restrictions outside of their control This company is quick to hire people and then quick to fire them too. Turnover is high due to a combination of poor onboarding, a lack of support, and unrealistic expectations. Employees can be saddled with unreasonable workloads and when mistakes are made, they are given little recourse to make corrections or learn and develop. Management seems more willing to fire someone over an issue rather than invest and develop their staff. The start-up mentality allows this company to move quickly, but sometimes they don't think things through and lower level employees feel the pain of these quick decisions. Even though it's an exciting company to work for, I would not recommend this company due to a lack of stability and a quick-to-blame culture.
