EQRx FAQ

Pros

Great people, great benefits, collaborative atmosphere, great culture, great interview process

Cons

It is a startup so there are some growing pains but everyone on board is willing to help, you just have to ask!

Pros

The "mission", while a dream, will make you feel good. Has decent benefits and 401k matching, ability to take leave, and slow down weeks built into company time off. Technically has unlimited PTO, and have seen people take time off for personal reasons without job loss.

Cons

Business outlook terrible - combination of poor decision making, multiple CEO turnover, and just bad timing. Valuation declining, and each day it looks worse and worse. Layoffs, headcount cuts, budget cuts, and resignations stagnate business progress. Most people who have been around for a year are gone or completely replaced for not falling into line. Bullying was brought up recently, and completely not addressed -- all departments experience this, as well as unrealistic time requests to work all hours of the day to accommodate Chinese and ex-US stakeholders.

Pros

After meeting a group of brilliant and thoughtful people, it was easy decision to join EQRx and contribute to such an inspirational mission. The leadership team is outstanding and there is a lot of opportunity to learn and grow. Proud to be a part of this team.

Cons

Like any young startup, everything is pretty fluid and there are lots of hats to wear. This can be a con, if it's not an environment you enjoy.
