"Surprised that anything gets done here"

What do you like about working at LipoScience?

"The majority of the people at the company are fantastic - pleasant, easy to get along with, and so on."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Depending on the position, you may have a great experience at Liposcience. If you take a position where you would be working on QA controlled stuff, be prepared for a lot of red-tape."

What don't you like about working at LipoScience?

"The company exhibits decision paralysis. Projects require meeting after meeting, upper-level management is brought in to have input on minor technical details for projects they have no qualifications or experience dealing with on a technical level. There is a lot of second guessing of highly qualified people by employees who don't have an understanding of what they second guess. Top-notch, qualified people aren't likely to stick around in this type of environment."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"The QA and change process is overly burdensome. It needs to be streamlined at the very least, or even better, scrapped and redone. Also, get a real change management system and stop using paper for the process. If you want to be the big boys, look to the big boys for guidance and drop the this is the way we do it mentality that crops up."
