Pros

Very positive financial outlook for the company, Company with ambitious goals to become market leader in the CDMO business and strong purpose. Many exciting projects running, giving oppunities to contribute to great initiatives and learn on the run - this thought is a stress factor to some

Cons

Location Visp is remote and food served at the cantine is not great. The recently announced return to office policy (4 days a week) reduces even further the location attractiveness . Functions being cut and relocated overseas, as part of cost cutting initiatives. no clarity of teams impacted in the shorter and longer term is bringing down the morale, Company grew fast thus missing some of the backbone processes. Part of the business on site in old fashioned and is difficult to promote change or ways of working

Pros

Lots to learn about producing API's via fermentation in bioreactors. Lots of room for career growth towards other departments and positions, from the business to the research. Good pay and lots of benefits are offered, such as dental, vision, and medical insurance; they also have a weight-loss program that I'm taking advantage of. Quality is prioritized, so there is no pressure to learn quickly, work faster, or meet quotas to do a good job. Teams are reliable, especially when learning the ropes; they'd be a part of the job I'd miss most if I leave.

Cons

Take careful consideration and be transparent with the supervisors if you're still exploring, as it's not an entry-level job that can hire and train new people at a fast pace all the time (I'm comparing this to retail and fast-food places, though). I live an hour away and work night shift, 7 pm to 7 am, thus the total amount of hours away from home is 14 hours. Please consider your mental endurance as well as your physical endurance for the night shift, as this job requires you to be on your feet, think critically, and can challenge one's work-home life balance.
