Pros

Great for college grads to get experience. It is also relatively easy to branch into different areas that interest you. Consist reviews. Some managers are really wonderful. The coworkers definitely make this place amazing!

Cons

Being acquired by Thermo has been awful. MOPA department is straight production and management is pretty chaotic. Poor communication and morale gets very low. The constant beat up makes managers not care and high turnover

Pros

Provided health insurance. Good coworkers Good exposure to team at client site If you have a good technical lead, the job can be great!

Cons

You have 2 bosses (Technical lead from Client Site) and your PPD boss. PPD Boss does not know what is going on If you have a bad technical lead, your life can be miserable. Pay is low No protection from abusive technical lead (coworkers on same team can have a drastically different experience)
