Pros

The actual work is interesting, research and development for pharma industry. Benefits are competitive, no waiting period for eligibility Is slowly updating IT systems to meet the times. Mostly good people looking to deliver a quality product

Cons

The culture is the very disappointing. Very blame oriented instead of solution oriented. One wrong move and your head is on the chopping block. Everyone is very tense all the time because they are uncertain about their job security. Communication is poor, both within sites and across sites. I couldn’t tell you anything our other sites are doing or working on nor have I been afforded the opportunity. No career development opportunity. Not much value placed on movement. They just want you to do the job you are hired to do. Not much room for advancement, even as you gain experience. Company seems to be struggling financially. They were recently purchased by a private equity firm and are unable to make the investments needed to sustain an organization that needs a lot of TLC.

Pros

Experience gained in bench science, instrumentation, GMP, et cetera. High turnover therefore they will generally accept anyone to work for them.

Cons

There are multiple sites in Albany which can get confusing when applying. You could apply to the research flagship in Albany & then get stuck in Rensselaer where you will be a slave. Too much work which is not distributed among analysts fairly. High turnover because employees are constantly unhappy. It is a job that gives you a paycheck & offers health insurance but nothing else, no chance of publication, no team building, no company culture. People seem to come here to work so they can move on to work at Regeneron up the road. If AMRI is one company treatment of employees should be the same across the company rather than employees at certain sites having access to better benefits than employees at another site.
