Pros

After the company got acquired things went worst. Massive hiring (networks) from Amgen came over and ruined the atmosphere.

Cons

Nepotism rules, there is not fair play.. If you know them you will get there. High upper management have no idea what is going on. There is a "Dream Team" already established that are known each other for decades and it's hard to be promoted. Supply Chain >> Stay away!!

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.
