I admire how the leadership cares for the staff and supports them to advance in their career.

– Baishakhi, Sr. Associate, Strategic Alliance Management

“At Acuitas, leadership continuously goes above and beyond to support the larger team and show they care – both professionally and outside of the lab/office. I receive a great deal of trust in the work that I do, and I feel that my ideas are valued. During the COVID-19 pandemic, government restrictions discouraged me from being able to go to the lab every day. Scheduling experiments and analyzing data became difficult. The IT team quickly helped me set up a work station and control lab instrumentation from home, while other team members went out of their way by preparing samples when I wasn’t able to come in. This support from Acuitas members made performing my job easier during uncertain times. Participating in meaningful work that has an impact on the world, combined with people that value honesty, openness and teamwork is an incredible opportunity for me.”

– Adam, Research Scientist I, Analytical
