Pros

Really cares about the employees. Has really good benefits, promotes work/life balance, recognizes good performers

Cons

Sometimes politics exist between sites. Almost like there is a competition between this site and that site instead of seeing all of us as part of a whole

Business Outlook

Pros

Average benefits for biotech, which is above average for most other industries. Mostly good people dedicated to making patients' lives better. Reasonably current on technology with good training opportunities.

Cons

There are a lot of contractors and short-term fix mentality must be challenged on a regular basis. Some administrative departments are very cliquey and can be difficult to support. Longer hours than should be are required for similar work done at similar companies. Not the greatest work-life balance.
