Regulatory Affairs Infested by Unqualified Jerks
Pros
The pay and benefits are good. There is usually hardly any work to do.
Cons
Working at Ventana in Regulatory Affairs, you will frequently be abused by bosses who are only there because they are married to someone else who is more important. Some will be very good friends with someone who is more important. Managers and senior managers can come on board with no experience. Directors may have 0-3 years of experience. The politics are very thick, and not even close to fair. Being competent in this department is a severe handicap because that makes you a threat. The girlfriend of the married boss may never come to work, and her job may be dumped on your lap at the last minute. Your "superior" coworker may spend all her time working for her contract clients instead of your shared employer, and all her train wrecks may be dumped in your lap. You may be treated as a slave by a boss with dyslexia who searches for typos in your work, can't teach you anything, takes credit for your work, and doesn't know how to lead. None of these people will ever cooperate with you by sharing necessary information or even telling the truth. They actually want you to fail at doing their jobs for them. If you have to take a job in this department, then just keep looking. I do not recommend relocating.
