Cemvita Reviews

Pros

A lot of smart and motived people. The CEO and CTO are mission minded and super kind.

Cons

It is almost impossible to make >100 people all happy at the same time but I can see that Cemvita try their best to keep a good and health environment for everyone.

Pros

Getting to work for a company with really cool science and an amazing mission for a better future is truly my dream job. I am challenged daily and absolutely love it. I actually can't wait to arrive each day. The leadership team thinks big picture and values everyone's input. All my coworkers are caring and candid and everyone works together towards our overall mission. On top of that, the company offers great benefits and compensation. It has been a breath of fresh air working for Cemvita, and I'm really excited about my future here.

Cons

As a startup that is rapidly growing, we are quickly running out of physical space, conference rooms, internet bandwidth, etc. Our team is working diligently to expand though and address any issues that arise.

Pros

Cemvita has a welcoming mentality that treats its employees like family. It offers great benefits and is very flexible with scheduling. As a company it is very driven and determined to accomplish its goals and strives to push the boundaries of technology. It also is making a push to develop its employees through various training and learning opportunities. The atmosphere is also very diverse and welcoming of all backgrounds.

Cons

Work can get repetitive, especially at lower levels but that’s with any sort of job.

Pros

Cemvita is a fantastic biotech startup to be in if you are interested in the energy transition/sustainability space. The science is novel (applications of native and engineered microbes in diverse industries) and the expected results could be groundbreaking in the heavy industries. The executive team, VPs and project leads are passionate about what we do but also very much support employee health and work life balance. The future of this company is bright.

Cons

As the company is so young, there are typical growing pains. The gradual addition of structure has been frustrating to some employees, such that adaptability is necessary. The salary is slightly lower than similar offers I received in the major biotech hubs (Boston, San Fran).

Pros

-Ambitious, exciting plans and vision -Work-life balance and positive company culture are prioritized -We have the resources we need to achieve our work goals (good equipment, technology, expertise) -Opportunities for professional growth

Cons

-Organization is currently a bit "top heavy," scientists outnumber research assistants and associates -We are still in the process of developing organizational systems and reporting structures. Active progress is being made, this is an inevitable challenge for a fast-growing company -No 401K (as of Nov. 2022, we have been promised this will change soon)

Pros

Cemvita is a great company to work for if you are looking for a place that has a valuable mission, a positive work environment, and really cares for it's employees. With a supportive management team, each projected becomes achievable while not having to sacrifice your work-life balance.

Cons

When events are held at the nearby stadium, there can be a bit of traffic.

Pros

- Management is communicative, coworkers are friendly - Work/life balance is prioritized - Active development of a positive company culture - Doing great work with admirable goals - Timeline for deliverables is ambitious but realistic

Cons

- Denver office is not diverse at all compared to local demographics - Not enough entry-level workers - Unclear upward mobility for RAs

Pros

This is truly a unique environment. We are all regularly encouraged to bring our diverse experiences and perspectives to the workplace, yet we remain united by a single (ambitious) mission.

Cons

We've experienced a lot of rapid growth over the past year. As a result, we are constantly having to ask the question, "is this scalable?" when we are developing processes.

Pros

Tremendous amount of professional growth opportunities and culture is second to none!

Cons

None, company has pivoted when it has needed to pivot and made accommodations even when it was not obligated to do so

Pros

-Young, energetic team -Cutting edge, interdisciplinary science -Growing fast -Opportunity to influence company direction at all levels -Great company atmosphere/culture -Employee well-being is a priority

Cons

-Project and laboratory management systems still developing -Short on hands to develop all ideas
