Pros

If you really want to excel your career forward, this is a great place to be. Evonik Van is a contract company as a CDMO so there is a lot to be said in terms of fast pace environment, deadlines, stressful times and the whole nine yards. BUT, the experience that goes with that is beyond what you could possibly obtain at other biotech companies. If you have a good performance record, you can easily be transferred to other locations and industry as Evonik is a global company. People are good here and we want to have as much fun as possible at any time.

Cons

It is a fast pace environment. It just comes as a CDMO. You will be working against deadlines and changing deadlines often. One day you will have to complete something and the next day you will have to complete something completely different However, if you are good at time management, this wont be an issue. If you are not good at time management, you will either learn as fast as you can or struggle until you do. You can easily ruin your experience here if you don't have an open mind to adapt and be malleable to changing condition at all times. It's sometime difficult to work as a team as every function has their own idea of what is right and wrong. Not necessarily all bad but its not a place for people who want to clock in and clock out. But I think the biggest Con is Bureaucracy of the company as a whole. The Company is German based and they are comparatively very conservative in making decisions. especially time sensitive decisions. This can be annoying often.
