We honestly care about the team and try to support them in their growth, in finding their passion, and in empowering them to become their best selves. We respect them as individuals, we recognize they have a life outside of work, and encourage them to live fully. All roles are treated with equal respect and everyone’s contribution is valued and appreciated. The biggest differentiator for me is how the team responds to hardships, how everyone is sticking together through the hard times, how people volunteer to do things outside of their work scope, because they want to help and contribute as best as they can. It’s the fact that everything becomes easier to bear as soon as we get to spend some time together as a team. It’s how this motivates us to do more and achieve more and isn’t seen as an obligation or a work task. It’s how we laugh together, and how we fight together and how we never give up.

Tjaša Krisper Kutin, COO

As an American living and working within American work culture for my whole career, I was mildly skeptical about the efficacy of European companies, with their 6 weeks of vacation and socialist-leaning policies. But guys, let me tell you: it’s fantastic. The humanity that Genialis brings to the concept of “work” is so refreshing.  Nobody pretends that we’re robots with output and schedules that are better suited to machines; we embrace that we’re people.  People who laugh and struggle and think and ask and win and lose and make mistakes and have brilliant breakthroughs all in the same day.  And a funny thing happens when you work this way: output actually increases and a ton of good, meaningful stuff gets done because our thinking is clear and we’re driven by our mission and our colleagues.

Gint Rudis, Senior director of Strategy and Operations

The best company culture that I have experienced in my 25+ years working professionally. It all starts with this and the CEO and senior leadership team takes the time to put deep thought and effort into continued emphasis on building a super company culture. Extremely smart colleagues with deep technical prowess, and exceptional leadership are reasons that I value working at Genialis. We truly live and breathe our five company values. Genialis’ people first value exemplifies really caring for its employees and their well-being and this is important to me and our team. There is a common thread that binds us all and that is outsmarting cancer. I believe each of our team members are deeply invested in this important mission. Finally, team camaraderie, working efficiently remotely and of course the very diverse, active interests and experiences that my colleagues share with us.

Adi Pai, Head of Business Development

As a mom, I highly value flexibility in my job. Team managers go above and beyond to organize assignments and tasks in a way that suits everyone and yields the best results. Managing a company with remote employees while maintaining a sense of connection and community is challenging, but we all make a sincere effort. Whether I work from home or come to the office, I am always surrounded by people who care. Great coffee, quirky humor, and incredible lunch break conversations are just additional perks. At Genialis, flexibility and community make all the difference

Eva Zupan Horacek, Head of Marketing and Communications

Being a student I was naturally drawn to the challenges at Genialis, but there is much so more. Collaborating with a team of skilled and reliable people opens up the opportunity to learn and grow while also contributing to the future of biomedicine. Doing all of that on a flexible schedule gives me the freedom to pursue other passions as well.

Anže Lovše, Bioinformatician

Three things that are most important to me as a developer: interesting problems, cool work culture and high quality codebase. At Genialis I have all of that.
