Pros

-Compensation -Benefits -Smart and capable co-workers make the day to day easier to navigate

Cons

-Poor leadership (specifically in the Quality organization). - Leadership does not lead by example - It's not unusual to observe a Quality VP or Sr.director taking screenshots of Teams chats (for CYA?). I question the level of trust (in both directions). This behavior creates a toxic environment. - Quality role scope creep- leadership tries to "own" and/or oversee the activities of other departments outside the scope of their QA responsibility which makes execution of processes cumbersome and, in many cases, non-value added and confusion over responsibility ownership.

Pros

Good benefits and stability Exciting science and patient centric

Cons

There are many problems with leadership. It feels that at this point timelines and KPI is way more important than doing good science. I found it very frustrating to having to deal with leaders who won’t listen or actually don’t understand how bench work works. I spend too much effort making up stuff to fulfill KPI so it looks good on paper than producing high quality results
