Formation Bio Employee Reviews

The project that excites me most is our new hire onboarding program because of the impact it will have on our company. Though we have a robust onboarding program in place already, we have the opportunity to think creatively about how to make the experience even better for our new hires, from the moment they accept our offer.

A lot of companies claim to have a flat org chart, but Formation is the kind of place where it's actually true. People who come in with a plan, and a strategy for executing it, are listened to regardless of title or tenure. It's a place where you can drive value and be impactful from day one.
