Pros

Fast paced. Coworkers are somewhat friendly.

Cons

Not too many knowledgeable people that know basic FDA rules so no one follows them or enforces them. Wildly racist. When I was there management treated the minorities very poorly and singled us out all the time. No one listens to you with these complaints, or even your good ideas or knowledge of the FDA. When the FDA inspects the site I have no doubt the site will be shut down for full disregard for the rules and guidelines. If I could give it zero stars I would. Don’t waste your talent here.

Pros

The team is incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable, and supportive, which has made it easy to learn and feel comfortable asking questions. There is a strong focus on training and collaboration, helping me feel safe, well prepared, and confident in my role. I also appreciate the benefits, which support a good work-life balance.

Cons

One area for improvement is the flexibility for new employees regarding remote work hours.

Pros

-Colleagues in labs and manufacturing sites are knowledgeable, dedicated, and supportive of one another. - Compensation and benefits remain competitive within the contract development and manufacturing industry. - Employees gain meaningful hands-on experience with advanced gene therapy and biologics projects. - Certain facilities feature modern equipment that supports complex production requirements. - Occasional team events and basic perks help build occasional positive moments in the workplace.

Cons

- The executive team consists primarily of finance professionals with limited direct experience in biopharmaceutical operations and quality systems. - Substantial debt accumulation and strategic divestitures occurred without sufficient investment in core manufacturing infrastructure or process improvements. - High employee turnover and repeated layoffs have led to increased workloads, reduced staffing levels, and declining team morale. - Persistent gaps in training, documentation, and maintenance contribute to quality deviations and regulatory compliance difficulties. - Communication between departments is often limited, resulting in unrealistic timelines and frequent project delays. - The company faced significant financial pressures approaching instability prior to the private acquisition. - Professional development opportunities are minimal, recognition is inconsistent, and work-life balance remains challenging for most roles
