**What It’s Like at BioSyent**

BioSyent values integrity, respect, and leadership. We take the long-term view (call it corporate sustainability), we persevere in the face of obstacles and discouragement, and we embrace change as an opportunity.

Ask our employees what it’s like to work here and they’ll tell you it’s like a family. Like a family, we take a long-term view and care both for the group and its individuals. We’re light on bureaucracy and it’s easy to access whoever you need (or whatever you need to know).

We work hard for results. We’re all hands-on deck when there’s a big priority and then give each other space when we’ve got individual jobs to get done. Unlike in large organizations, here every person is close to decisions and actions - close to the heartbeat of the organization.

Total compensation means rewards and recognition for a job well done - collectively and individually. At BioSyent we like to share success. We offer a competitive salary, bonus structure, Employee Share Purchase Plan (ESPP) vacation, and comprehensive benefits package.
