Pros

Free gym I guess otherwise not much.

Cons

As a CRO it's the same as any other CRO the people in the lab are worked like slaves while all the other staff reap the benefits of their hard work. Promotions are completely unfair and the whole company is rife with gatekeepers and nepotism.

Pros

None, no competitive salary or benefits.

Cons

Terrible management, they hire friends and then lean on seasoned employees to pick up the work after them. During my employment I witnessed multiple employees of 20+ years at the company leave. Not retire. Leave the company for a different company. Limited growth. No one at the Columbus branch knows how to train. So if it's your fist job out of college you will severely struggle. They won't work with you. Instead save their butt and fire you saying you were the problem. Putting a black mark on your resume. Management doesn't walk through to check in on things only sits in office or stays home to work from home while you do all the work.

Pros

The people, despite all the pressure and the awful morale the support from the people you work with is great.

Cons

Under the previous CEO this used to be a great place to work but the past few years have been awful. The CEO is only interested in shareholders and their dividend and employees pay the price for this. During covid took full advantage of furlough scheme and forced managers not furloughed to take a 20% pay cut. Still managed to post good results and pay out dividend even if employees were struggling with financial implications of this. If you complained was offered redundancy but only Government minimum. No leadership, management too scared to challenge in case they get fired so just protecting their own backs. No training, no resources, no career progression, no investment in to infrastructure especially IT so open to attacks. Negligible pay progression so way below inflation, again if you complain you are told you know where the door is. Toxic culture, people terrified of losing their jobs.
