Good place to cut your teeth. Do not stay long.

Business Outlook

Pros

Access to work with wide range of technologies, projects, and clients. Learn the ropes of drug development - self taught. Treats clients fairly - would recommend over other CDMOs due to commitment to resolve discrepancies.

Cons

Poor mentorship and growth, if not self-diligent - your skills will erode, not a culture of learning, overworked, underpaid, under resourced, unappreciated by senior leadership, innovation is weak, senior leadership does not understand the businesses they buy and slap their logo on, no meaningful executive vision communicated, no meaningful benefits for technical advancement, you are their mule and you must make medicine as a mule would

Not sure what they're doing

Business Outlook

Pros

Good pay and benefits, on-site gym, good communication with staff, most people work well in teams. The job can be really tough some days, but most the people working there were really good people, and you could rely on them to help you out, and make sure you get a break at a reasonable time. We all really had each others backs, which isn't something I've really experienced at any other job.

Cons

After the lay offs in December, they don't seem to know what they're doing or where they're going. Lots of moving people around, and adding extra workloads to the people who didn't get laid off. Often times things are chaotic and disorganized in manufacturing. It was pretty common to be told I would do something, and then wait awhile for the other people in my group to be ready, only to be told that I would be doing a completely different thing that day. Some departments were more organized than others, but it was a common thread overall.
