Pros

Friendly coworkers at this office location and nice headquarter facility in NC. Got a decent salary for not much work.

Cons

Working at Sequence comes with several notable drawbacks. Employees can often expect to wait several months without any assigned projects, resulting in periods of inactivity that can be frustrating and unproductive. During these times, the work provided typically consists of minor tasks for the headquarters location, which are usually performed remotely and independently, leading to feelings of isolation. Additionally, the Boston office is extremely small, requiring employees to work out of a conference room when they come into the office once a week. Furthermore, the nature of the job involves predominantly remote work or solitary office work, since most people do not come into the office besides one day a week,which reduces opportunities for team collaboration and can affect overall team cohesion.

Pharmaceutical consulting at Sequence is a highly rewarding career choice for those who want to learn quickly and gain experience across the many different cross functional areas of the manufacturing process. There is opportunity to work with a wide range of some of the world's largest pharmaceutical manufacturers in a variety of locations. Client timing for project start isn't always within our control, but because we hire our consultants as full time employees (not 1099) this means there is fully paid bench time when not assigned to a project. When this happens, we work hard to keep our consultants engaged through additional learning opportunities that contribute to larger organization goals and team involvement through cultural initiatives.

Pros

Nice office, but you will never be there.

Cons

Run while you can. You can tell a lot from a business based on how many people have worked there a long time, or if when people have left, do they speak well of it. Well, no former employee speaks kindly of this place. Take a look at linkedin.. this company has been around for over 20 years but there's not a soul there that's been there longer than 8 to 9. They have a video online of their 20 year anniversary.. none of the people getting the awards in the video are there any more. It's a toxic environment that has struggled to make a profit. They have burned bridges with their best people and the industry. They sell college students on CQV being exciting. It's not. It's work. And they try to trap them under vastly worded contracts to confuse them and make them think they are stuck. There are much better places to work in this industry. There's a reason you don't hear their name at sites any more.. they have become irrelevant. If I was the person who just purchased this company I would back out immediately. You are getting nothing but debt.
