Pros

Its the Corporate atmosphere of a New York City Headquarters located in scenic Hunterdon County, NJ, so NO COMMUTE. Competitive salary, great benefits, long term employees (who haven't yet been forced to retire)

Cons

There is no advancement available here for Administrative Assistant. You will watch all the people around you whom you work for get promotions and you will forever be at your level, no matter what the added responsibilites are that you receive....

Pros

Over my tenure, I had the opportunity to work alongside highly talented and mission-driven colleagues dedicated to improving patient outcomes. The organization provided exposure to cross-functional collaboration, leadership development opportunities, and meaningful work supporting healthcare providers, patients, and community stakeholders. I appreciated the company's commitment to innovation, professional growth, and serving patients through scientific advancement.

Cons

Like many large organizations, priorities and organizational structures evolved over time, which occasionally created uncertainty and changes in responsibilities. Decision-making processes could sometimes be complex due to the size of the organization, and navigating multiple layers of stakeholders occasionally impacted speed and execution.
