Good benefits, complacent and slow paced environment

Biostatistics manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits, like weeklong summer and winter shutdowns, 401k matching, and remote work. Fellow staff are highly educated and experienced. Good work life balance. Several of my colleagues are able to take care of their kids and still get all their work done.

Cons

Pay is just OK. Very few chances for career advancement and development. Upper management wants to replace US based staff with AI and offshoring. Slow decision making and general lack of urgency or innovation. Management is careless. Job expectations are unclear.
