Toxic culture according to a few people I know. Lots of lies and manipulation, they absolutely don't care about what they sell vs what they give to senior joiners. It looks like a good environment for juniors, but more senior people should avoid moving there. 

This is hearsay, but they would tell you what you want to hear to make you join, then get your ideas, then if you're unhappy feel free to leave with your non-compete. It looks like the fund did not understand how to grow and this is just some structure built around the partners who actually take 100% of all decisions, all credit and money

 

Second the above two comments. The environment looks pretty poor for non-juniors.

There are so many other places that will give you a career, don't ruin it for this place

 

Any more details or examples could you please described? Im kinda of senior(5/6 yrs) and is considering the offer from them.

Their perfm past a fews yrs looked great and be expanding fast. So why it is so bad choice for senior researcher?

Many thx if someone could give more advice.
