Pros

Was a good place before the current strategy of moving jobs offshore

Cons

Two cliques in this company. 1. Longer term employees who are pleasant but don't get much done. They fight new ideas and new people like they are a bad infection that will threaten their clueless view of the market. 2. Newer clique that thinks the best way to success is no innovation and big cost savings. Consequently this company sits on its hands and hoping that it's past deeds will keep it alive. No real future view of the market and no ability to hire new innovative people who know new areas.

Pros

A strong entry-level opportunity that allowed me to build a solid foundation in the biotechnology industry. I appreciated the job stability, benefits, and structured work environment. The position also gave me valuable experience working in a regulated laboratory, following SOPs, maintaining accurate documentation, and contributing to the safety testing of biologics and vaccines.

Cons

One challenge of the Associate Scientist role was that advancement became limited after reaching a certain level unless a higher-level position became available. The work could also involve long or unpredictable hours because some assays had strict timelines and could not always be paused. At times, overtime was restricted even when an assay required additional attention, which made scheduling and workload management more difficult.
