    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.

    Exciting and impactful work makes this my dream job!

    Business Outlook

    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.

    Burgeoning company addressing the energy transition with biology

    Nov 3, 2022 - Research Scientist in Denver, CO
    Recommend
    CEO Approval
    Business Outlook

    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).

    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.
