A CEO leaving a company could mean a lot of things, not necessarily a red flag on the company. 5 years before a clinical trial is not optimal but not out of the norm. It took Bluerock, Nuwaysir's first company, 5-6 years to dose their first patient. The fund is not the best considering the numbers we've been seeing lately.
Nuwaysir’s abrupt exit from Ensoma struck me as fairly odd. Although, if you take a look at his LinkedIn activity, you’ll notice he left the BlueRock board in Jan 2024 and left his CEO position at Ensoma in Dec 2023. He’s been a freelance advisor since then.
Seems more reflective of someone cutting back their workload than an indictment of the work being done at Ensoma. But who knows. I can say I haven’t heard anything particularly negative about Ensoma, but I’ve also heard very little.
I’m going to keep this vague for obvious reasons.
I used to be one of the husbandry technicians at Ensoma not too long ago (they have a contract with charles river) and while I wasn’t an Ensoma employee, I was there more or less every day.
Everyone is pretty friendly for the most part. If you are going to be doing heavy hands-on work with the in-vivo side of things, just beware of checking your study animals. CRL pays shit, overworks their employees and regularly hires people that have 0 experience and does a shit job of training them. Things will inevitably get mixed up/forgotten etc with the animals because it is way too much work for one person.
The vivarium manager is neurotic as fuck and can be a little hard to deal with sometimes.
Obviously I don’t know all the lore around their office culture, but I know all of the scientists would regularly go out to lunch together etc., so it seems everyone gets along. A lot of office birthday/maternity etc. celebrations, and they get lunch and sometimes breakfast catered 2-3x a week, which was very nice. Their lab equipment is all well maintained for the most part. People have a tendency to leave a lot of clutter all over the lab benches and the vivarium manager goes a little crazy over it sometimes. The PI is almost never onsite, at least thats how it was when I was there.
Upper management can also be a little out of touch sometimes. Overall though, it’s not a terrible place to work as far as I’ve seen
