I have been working at Adverum Biotechnologies full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
All new Management! I’m guessing the Board listened to the past glassdoor reviews. I recently joined and have had nothing but great experiences with the (new) Management Team. The entire company is really lovely and super passionate about the science. The work life balance is amazing, every effort is made to accommodate each person’s situation. The HR team is truly here for the employee not just the company. They listen and implement accordingly. The energy in the office really is one of excitement for the future of the gene therapy product. I appreciate the comradery between all the new and existing employees. Whatever they did in 2019 worked because I genuinely enjoy being in the office and around my co-workers.
Cons
It’s a growing company with a lot of new employees so some alignment is needed, but everyone is super open to suggestions and amendable.
Advice to Management
Keep partnering with HR and keep up the good, positive work!
Application
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Adverum Biotechnologies (Santa Clara, CA) in January 2020.
Interview
Phone interview with the spacy HR, one video interview with the hiring manager, and one video interview with the 2 extras. Everyone acted irritable with debbie downer syndrome at the interviews. They did not sound like good ambassadors of their company and has rude manners.
