Great people and great company

Pros

Strong science and operations, everyone really cares about what we're doing. HR is really focused on the culture and created a new peer recognition program. Good benefits and very generous PTO package.

Cons

Small company, so can be affected by the ebbs and flows of clinical trials in AD, such as large late phase trial cancellations. This can be challenging. But the small size can also present opportunities to carve out new roles and specialize in a given area, which many people have done. Like anywhere, silos can develop with different departments, so it takes attention and strong communication to keep this from impacting opportunities for collaboration.

Worst job ever

Pros

interesting product, casual dress code.

Cons

This was the worst job I've ever had. Management favors certain people and will protect them at whatever cost, no matter what. Pay is a joke compared to industry standards. Asking management to address reasonable concerns is like talking to a brick wall; nothing will change- unless you are one of those favorites! No career growth until you leave. Seriously toxic environment.
