The Jackson Laboratory (JAX) Environment Employee Reviews

All
Positive
Constructive

What is most positive about the culture and environment at your company?

Welcoming and easy to work with.

What needs to change to make the company culture better?

The management team uses a fear-based motivation process that squelches disagreement. Rigorous evaluation of projects and programs that fail is discouraged -- bad news is unwelcome and messengers subtly punished or denied advancement.
