Pros

Strong science and operations, everyone really cares about what we're doing. HR is really focused on the culture and created a new peer recognition program. Good benefits and very generous PTO package.

Cons

Small company, so can be affected by the ebbs and flows of clinical trials in AD, such as large late phase trial cancellations. This can be challenging. But the small size can also present opportunities to carve out new roles and specialize in a given area, which many people have done. Like anywhere, silos can develop with different departments, so it takes attention and strong communication to keep this from impacting opportunities for collaboration.

Pros

Remote work is a plus. There is typically flexibility.

Cons

Cogstate will terminate people who are performing very well, with no notice. They are known for doing this. Do not take a job here unless you are prepared to be let go without cause or warning, regardless of your performance. Despite their messaging, they do not have much regard for their employees. They do not consider who will pick up that person's work within their department when they are let go. Morale is low. People do not feel secure in their jobs, with good reason.
