Pros

Good cultural commission which happy hour comes early at 3pm on Fridays. Free coffee and snacks.

Cons

Employees who do all work do not get bonuses. Nobody works 37.5 hours a week, more like 50-55 hours a week with no overtime pay. It is required to be available after hours at night to work with counterparts in Australia. Seems there are no salary increases unless you change your job title. Management is only concerned about bottom line and not the growth or future of employees.

Pros

Perfect environment for someone who thrives in a collaborative work environment and who is comfortable with constant evolution. If you show leadership, you are provided with plenty of opportunities to stretch. New leadership with extensive experience in clinical trials is making a positive impact. Fun vibe. Management is very flexible about working from home and personal leave to help employees maintain work-life balance. New systems have made communications and information sharing much better.

Cons

Rapid growth is causing some uncertainty in the Company's direction and operations. But, I think that just comes with the territory and things will shake out. Open office environment can be tough. It can get a little loud in some areas.
