The best part about working at CuliNEX is the culture. CuliNEX has a welcoming and collaborative team environment, collegiate leadership, and a strong onboarding program. What I enjoy most is the opportunity CuliNEX provides in technical growth. I love to play on the bench and CuliNEX allows me the space and support to work on food technologies that are new to me.
