Pros

I work at ATCC Cell Systems in Gaithersburg. We are a cell biology focused product development business unit of the ATCC. We are given a lot of autonomy by our leadership, which allows us to work efficiently. We are working on interesting new products in several different areas and have the opportunity to propose new projects as well. We recently received access to CRISPR technology which is a great addition to our toolbox in product development. We also just moved to a new facility which gives us a lot of room for expansion

Cons

Sometimes it is difficult logistically when we need to work with people in Manassas due to the traffic, but we don't have to physically travel there more than once or twice a month and not all positions need to do so.

Pros

* Mostly awesome colleagues and a relaxed work environment. * Diverse and interesting projects. * Opportunities to gain skills and knowledges in many areas of biotech. * Convenient location in Gaithersburg, MD with easy access from I-270 (live south and reverse commute if you can) * The company is a mission-based non-profit organization dedicated to supporting life science research * Comprehensive benefits package (paid vacation, sick leave, retirement plans, company matching, health, vision, dental, etc) * Flexible work schedules.

Cons

* Salaries on the lower end of the competitive range for MoCo; somewhat understandable considering the company is a non-profit org and not big pharma or similar. * Company is the midst of expansion and this has likely contributed to turnover at the senior management level * Some areas are understaffed
