Business Outlook

Pros

Being part of a company that is tech-forward, contributing to the biopharmaceutical industry, with the opportunity to work on high impact project-based work is extremely rewarding. Having that company be rapidly growing opens up a world of opportunities for growth, role diversity, and knowledge gathering.

Cons

The company growth and success has exceeded expectations year-over-year, which has made staffing difficult to keep up with despite management's best laid plans and commitment to growing the team.

Pros

benefits, office is a nice work environment

Paperwork, bureaucracy, minimal opportunity to grow, HR prevents moving up quickly and increased compensation in an effort for fairness. Raises are more heavily weighted on time at company rather than work ethic.
