Pros

Great place to work if you genuinely love science and don't mind a more academic environment to drug development. Genuinely some of the best people i've ever worked with.

Cons

Layoffs are coming more and more by the day, with vague mentions of reorganization that is "best" for the company. Meanwhile, all the things (and people...) that made this place great are being chased away.

Pros

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.
