Pros

Fast paced, exciting place to work at. The senior team genuinely cares about the employees and the tasks at hand. Teams are collaborative and people are very friendly. The usual small company perks are nice too.

Cons

Can't really think of any serious cons. Some of the systems can be improved but those are typical growing pains

Pros

- Great benefits including 401K matching, tuition re imbursement, HSA matching, stock/bonus awards, and wellness awards. - Excellent campus with onsite/subsidized food court, gym, volleyball/pickle ball/volley ball court, zoom enables conference rooms, and shuttle service. - Company shutdown in July and December. - Laboratory spaces stocked with new equipment. - Utilizes electronic batch record system instead of paper.

Cons

- Poor collaboration between site leadership resulting in distractingly competitive environment focused more on positive optics rather than continuous improvement. - Poor short term and long term planning, often resulting in inconsistent operations schedule and unclear deadlines/objectives.
