Pros

I enjoy the people I work with on a day to day basis. They are truly the only reason I have stayed and continue to stay though it's getting harder and harder.

Cons

Communication - inconsistent laterally across the organization (including site to site) and vertically. There is no consistency and it's so confusing. My manager doesn't' seem to know what's going on because their manager doesn't know either. ???? Disconnection - There seems to be a huge disconnect between us in the labs and the executive team. Most of the executives are remote yet we are all on site - how does that work? How can you possibly understand our company if you're not even here. Surveys are a joke. It seemed promising at first, but guess what, the absolute minimum has been addressed. Not surprising that engagement is down - stop sending them out. They have touted the same "plans" to improve the business for the last 2 years yet no change except to take things away . We used to have a culture where we felt heard, respected, and a good dose of fun every now and then. Now it feels like a culture of stress, repression, and that what we do is never enough.

Pros

BioAgilytix Labs, LLC (BAL) is a successful, competent, contract research organization (CRO) with a specific focus on large molecule bioanalysis. It's competitive, successful, and has the staff, expertise, and equipment needed to advance client contracted projects at the scientific and technical level.

Cons

For members of operations (Ops), the hustle of work at a CRO can turn into a quite a grind. Too many projects for too many clients on too tight of timelines stretches staff, equipment, and attention thin. The same cost-cutting and efficiency measures that keep BAL lean and efficient also promote overloading of employees. To be fair, this is true for most CROs.

Pros

Above average salary and benefits for this specific industry within the RTP area (including 401(k) and HSA). High value of the work to the pharmaceuticals and healthcare industries is rewarding because of the myriad contributions to the therapeutics development/approval process. Opportunities for growth along various career tracks (Operations, Quality Control, Quality Assurance). If given the chance, assay development is a challenging and rewarding experience for science-minded people. Experience, skills, and attitude but not necessarily degree (e.g. PhD or MBA) required for various management positions. Additional pay opportunities (e.g. time and a half, weekend stipend) for extra work within Operations. Strong Scientific Office. Strong adherence to regulations. Strong Quality Assurance department. Diversity is promoted and encouraged. Majority of senior management positions occupied by women. Numerous examples of people who have left the company for various reasons and have been rehired or have reapplied when the opportunity for which they left the company turned sour or when new opportunities were presented at BioAgilytix. Social activities throughout the year. Volunteer involvement within the local community.

Cons

Variability in actual expectations and/or performance for a given title/position between various teams within Operations. This is in part due to the various models under which teams operate as well as the different management styles within groups. Flexibility and adaptability are a must meaning the ability to work under tight timelines, get the job done, and deliver high quality data sometimes with very short notice (not necessarily a con, but not a job for people who want a relaxed workday). Company is less tight-knit since it has expanded its employee number and opened multiple sites within the RTP area (sometimes an inevitable product of growth).
