Pros

Great health benefits, average 401k matching, ESPP and free food 3x week. People are nice, hard working and determined to make life changing products.

Cons

Promotions (very few overall) only for upper management and mostly based on favoritism, hard work isn't recognized, middle management is clueless, lots of politics, direction changes all the time, no career growth/opportunities, pay is low even compared to other biotechs.

Pros

Benefits, pay, and catered lunch orders every shift. Company currently growing and seeking to expand its operations. Will learn plenty in lab with the training--opened my eyes to how biotech industry can work with this being my first professional role.

Cons

Fast-paced environment with less consideration for slower coworkers, coworkers that felt cliquey, and management that seemed distant and unapproachable. Getting along with coworkers was the toughest part for me. Some coworkers seemed unapproachable. Had trouble feeling a sense of belonging on the team with seemingly constant critique about my performance with very little mentioning of people seeing improvement.
