Transcriptic

Transcriptic is a very small company. We like it that way. Our work culture is an unstructured environment where you can do your best work supported by a group of your peers. Everyone sets their own goals, and everyone is empowered to think creatively. We work hard and we focus, but we don`t do all-nighters or heroic pushes. Grinding yourself into the ground is a fast way to introduce bugs. Life science demands precision; we take our time and we get it right. We use commercial-off-the-shelf solutions when they`re available, and we aren`t afraid to open them up to get to more exacting standards—and if we can`t find it, we build it. We`re completely devoted to solving Transcriptic`s challenges as cleverly as possible to build solid, reliable, intelligent solutions.
