Good company but inconsistent.

Pros

Great colleagues who do their best with what they have. depending on your role and manager, you have autonomy. Company looks good on your CV Compensation is average depending on which department you work in. If you have the drive and knowledge to do so, you can move around to different departments. Many opportunities if your are able to position yourself right.

Cons

Company has a vision of where they want to go, but is struggling to do so. Directors of various functions do not always appears to be working together for common goals. Goal agreement between functions could be stronger. Employees focus on their goals; if work comes up outside of those goals, you may not get cooperation.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great work hours (35 hour work week, salaried), amazing coworkers, free parking. A lot of trust put in lower level workers to complete tasks.

Cons

Despite the trust to control the amount of work completed, many people have no work ethic and do not get reprimanded for poor performance. People are not promoted, and if they are, it is not based on contribution to the company. Secretive nature of the business and executive management doesn't understand the biotech industry AT ALL, making poor production, marketing, and inventory decisions while severely under-appreciating employees' talents and potential. Little to no control, resulting in "he said she said" arguments. Salary was ok but raises/bonuses were minimal. Lack of trust among all departments in the company.
