Pros

Flexibility work environment, decent pipeline,multiple acquisitions lead to growth and projects,lot to learn good macro culture. Good benefits and vacation plan.

Cons

Toxic,egoistic and petty managers who demand high level of efficiency, expectations are through the roof and which are ever increasing. Managers are inexperienced and don't know anything about being efficient themselves. No coaching or guidance available. Most people are burnt out due to heavy work load due to high expectations and manager not pulling their weight. If you are incompetent and lazy, this is the best place to be and you can survive for a long time without anyone noticing. Highly beaurocratic culture. No action plan to integrate acquired companies. Chaotic work culture. Salary below industry standard.

Pros

Nice people to work with, not too pushy from direct supervisor

Cons

Pay is not as high as other big pharma, work culture starting to become toxic. We are starting to get more and more micromanaged in terms of needing to log exact work hours in the work computer. That becomes difficult when you are lab facing and not always on your laptop
