Advice to Senior Management – Decisions and changes are made quickly and unfairly

Former Employee – worked at BioInformatics

Pros – BioInformatics offers unusually generous benefits for such a small company and most have their own office. If you like Apple computers, most employees use those for their workstation.

They have a convenient location off of the Clarendon metro.

The environment is comfortable and the offices are nice.

Cons – Management can focus too heavily on whatever issue seems the most pressing, leading to neglecting other vital interests. This has lead to severe cases where a lack of accountability has been damaging to the company's interests and employee morale.

Turnover is high, suggesting either a dissatisfaction with potential for job advancement (it's a small company, not their fault) or dissatisfaction with position/pay. That said, the analysts seem to have the best retention. Working with the web site and associated in-house technologies is a frustrating experience.

Pay was subpar.

Advice to Senior Management – The benefits and office suggest a commitment to employees, which is commendable. Be more proactive in addressing any dissatisfaction they may feel. If something will be a problem, your dedicated staff is probably upset about it before you know it exists.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
