I can say from first-hand experience (I used to work there and left for personal reasons) that most of the negative stuff written above is rubbish. Lexygen has great work and most of the people there are really nice and helpful folks. The last thing anyone can say about them is that they're toxic! It's very sad that this firm and the good people there are being unfairly targeted by some people with vested agendas.
OP, if you are genuinely considering Lexygen I would suggest that you don't listen to these baseless comments. Apply to them and figure out for yourselves what you think of the firm and then decide. I'm not saying everything is perfect but it is surely one of the better options today in the market if you want to do PE/VC and M&A.
