Business Outlook
Pros
If you are in the right group at the right time, you will find transparent, progressive leadership refreshing in the pharma and biotech industry.
Cons
Some people in management are not as change receptive as others and will lose their best people to companies / departments that embrace change and eschew bureaucracy.

Thank you for sharing this review with us. We’re sorry to hear that your experience with management is not as positive as most. We know this can be impactful on employees since their managers influence their ever day experiences. Wanting our managers to be committed and passionate leaders, we provide them with the tools and resources they need to be effective in their roles. Your feedback is particularly important in identifying where we can make improvements. Thanks again!
The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals
Cons
QA management has become inept. None of the leadership (aside from maybe one or two) truly understand the nuances of our site and jobs. They refuse to pay you more due to "budget" reasons but won't provide much information, they claim to be transparent but will make decisions behind your back and not communicate them, even if they impact you and/or your job. Leadership doesn't listen to feedback and gets defensive if you even try to give any. It honestly has become a game of politics only in QA and that's not really building any real quality culture.
