Tough place to work - Get your Experience and Get Out - Scientist NextCure Employee Review

Competitive salary. Excellent upper management. Great company culture. They'll feed you every week. They ordered the best cakes! Employees are treated fairly.

None. However, I do not know what it was like working at the labs.

You will get the most value for your career if you are and entry level STEM graduate. The small size of the company, flexible organization structure along with slower production cadence allows you plenty of opportunities to develop and gain exposure to different functional areas. Cross functional shadowing is common. Work life balance is great. There are some extremely talented individuals that work here.

They hire talented individuals with diverse experiences from industry. But the talent is sometimes wasted because some directors reject input from the team members without explanation. This indicates that decisions are not always strategic and sometimes based on personal preferences/feeling. They also will not bother explaining their reasoning and strategy to the team even when asked and take a dismissive approach. Some of these leaders provide no clear direction or vision as to what good looks like. This environment is not conducive to innovation in or retaining high performing team members. Not very inclusive. gossip happening openly even at team meetings, sometimes initiated by a director. NextCure values respect and inclusion, However little oversight into different departments allows some directors to propagate sub cultures that are not conducive to a respectful and inclusive company culture.
