Pros

Base rate is good, opportunities to work overtime. Some good people who try to improve working conditions.

Poor management from several levels. A culture of throwing others under while simultaneously taking credit for things they didn’t do.

Business Outlook

Pros

You will learn a lot about reorganization and how layoffs are conducted. You will master how to survive corporate hunger games if you stay.

Cons

This company is successful due to the science...the business is actually run very poorly from senior leaders, to all levels of management. And employees pay the price in constant reorgs and layoffs, limited budgets, lack of movement or promotions, and limited opportunity. No such thing as employee development. Company is a good old boys club in many areas with a few select "rising stars" who are the favorites who get promoted despite poor performance. Salaries are lower than other pharmaceuticals. HR is useless, starting with TA who are more focused on diverse candidates than qualified ones. Contractors treated like garbage. Avoid.
