Pros

Excellent benefits (matching 401k, vacation). Great salary.

Cons

Undergoing constant "transformation" and re-reorganization since 2009. When will it end? Very bureaucratic top-heavy organization that moves at a glacial pace making it difficult for groups to advance interesting initiatives without month's long processes requiring sign-offs from upper management. Entirely too focused on what share-holders want rather than what patients need.

Pros

You Learn a lot about GMP/Pharmaceutical Industry since its heavily regulated by the FDA. The pay is good for the position.

Cons

There are limited opportunities for career advancement, particularly for contractors. Training is generally restricted to the specific process equipment required for assigned tasks, with little opportunity for broader skill development. Additionally, the workplace culture can be challenging. Some long-tenured employees appear to feel entitled to treat others disrespectfully, creating a toxic work environment. Their seniority often seems to shield them from accountability, as concerns raised with management frequently go unaddressed. There also appears to be a lack of diversity and inclusion, which contributes to workplace microaggressions, disrespectful behavior, and an environment where not all employees feel equally valued or respected. There is limited opportunity for contractors being hired on a full time basis, they have to leave the company for six months before they can be hired back! No company benefits for contractors!
