What works well?

Great colleagues and nice view from the kitchen and the lab.

What could be improved?

The overall atmosphere is toxic at ichnos biopole. A significant number of employee are close to depression and burn out caused by the management. Leadership always ask more and more without recognising their employees. There is a clear lack of equity between employee, depending on grade, department and politics. Employee are not promoted according to what they are proving, and are not empowered in their jobs. Communication and transparency should greatly be improved for the sake of the company. Science wise leadership are focusing on doing what is done historically without innoving. Feedbacks are not well welcomed. Leadership are focused on finding who is wrong instead of finding a solution. Policies are not flexibles. Management is not capable of taking decision causing multiple delays in project even if the deadlines are really tights (best case scenario). Projects are constantly delayed causing a lot of stress, employee are constantly working in an emergency environment. Salaries are low for Switzerland and Lausanne area.

Dear applicant, First of all, thank you for taking your time and leaving a review. This helps us to improve. We confirm inconsistence with applications feedback. The last few months there was an implementation of our company career page and an automated application tracking system. Together with high volume of recruitment this partly caused a delay in replies, sometimes substantial. Please try re-applying now via explore opportunities section at www.ichnossciences.com or send a message to the inessa.duerst@ichnossciences.com. Your query will be processed separately. Please accept apologies on behalf of the company. Kind regards, Talent Acquisition Team

The worst company ever!!!!

What works well?

Nothing except some great colleagues. The view of the labs.

What could be improved?

Everything needs to improve in the discovery group in Lausanne at the Biopôle. From the science itself to the leadership team. Salary is low, management don't trust employees. Employees are stressed because of the tight timelines. Team leaders don't support their teams. Lack of experience The general environment is horrible.
