Pros

Stable company and good benefits but pay scale is very low. Very dated thought process and lab equipments

Cons

Most managers work remotely and dedicate projects without adequate support and guidance and some projects lingers for years with no end in sight. Merital promotions are hard to come by for years and qualified and talented employees eventually leave the company. There is no plan in place to retain talented employees. There is a lots of favorism amongst management

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.
