Pros

It is a decent place for entry-level employees to gain skills. Plan to move somewhere better after a couple of years though, because there's no potential for career advancement.

Cons

Unsafe working conditions. Laboratory equipment is outdated and is not maintained. The office space is a noisy, over crowded cube farm. There's no where to park if you arrive after 7:30 AM. No work/life balance at all. Training program is a mess and a waste of time. No career potential.

Decent benefits Great flexible schedule Always work to do Great pay

Cons

Management is always looking at taking on new projects and clients so there is always change and uncertainty, which is to be expected since CordenPharma is a CDMO.

Pros

Good coworkers and lower level management

Cons

Upper management and HR have been especially difficult. Pay inequities. Safety culture is bad. They don’t give us what we need to do our jobs, then get mad when we can’t do our jobs.
