Pros

Pretty resilient Swiss company as far as the extremely volatile pharmaceutical industry can go. They have fair to generous compensation and the benefits include med, vision, and dental, and vacation/sick/personal time. Working here can be extremely stressful and demanding both mentally and physically. The seriousness of the work has made me able to cope with stress easier and has improved my patience greatly.

Cons

Overtime is expected. You cannot schedule anything outside of work without work at least attempting to muck up your plans. DO NOT WORK HERE IF YOU ARE AT ALL CONCERNED WITH CHEMICAL EXPOSURES. I have gone home on occasion unable to see straight from overworking, dehydration, chemical exposure, and the extreme meticulous details of paperwork and FDA regulations that are involved in a cGMP lab environment making and testing pharmaceuticals. Also Switzerland is now your home country once you start working here because Switzerland calls all the shots. Switzerland is revered above all. HAIL SWITZERLAND!
