Halcyon’s Culture
Halcyon Molecular is a mission with a company, not the other way around. We value and cultivate the following principles:
- Intellectual Honesty and Curiosity – We care about finding the right answers and solutions, no matter how they’re found, who finds them, or what they are. We’re energized by technical and intellectual challenges, and approach them with thoughtfulness, rationality, and objectivity.
- Taking Responsibility – Each member of the Halcyon team can effect the outcomes of projects and of the company itself. All of our team members show ownership over their projects and the company’s mission.
- Evolving Selves – We strive to master our own fates by improving ourselves and our peers. We nurture our strengths, are aware of our weaknesses, and thirst for knowledge and advancement.
In addition to sharing the aforementioned values with us, the team members at Halcyon are…
- Entrepreneurial – They’ve founded businesses, led projects, invented and innovated.
- Humorous and Outgoing – Life is (for now at least) too short to be taken too seriously.
- Described by others as the best in their line of work.
What is it like to work at Halcyon?
- Creative – As a small company, everyone plays a critical role and has the opportunity to do great things.
- Intense – Our interdisciplinary technology relies on scientific advancements in a number of different fields, which can initially be overwhelming but makes for an awesomely stimulating environment. Discussions can run late into the night and experiments run over the weekends.
- Supportive – To help our employees focus we provide: meals, snacks, private space for work and rest, excellent administrative support, and an environment of lean, results-oriented bureaucracy.
- Healthy and Playful – We provide healthy lunch, dinner and snacks on site. We practice yoga, play dodgeball, and have active meetings.
