Pros

you can work from home when not travelling. Company car if you opt for one. Decent work life balance for this type of field role in biotech.

Cons

Ceo is a penny pincher saying our stock is growing but really people are leaving and getting laid off but there is no back fill. Classic Corp America of do more with less. There is AI metric everywhere that have a lot of loopholes and flaws that affect your yearly bonus.

Pros

Great coworkers who truly care about putting best foot forward and great technology.

Cons

Compensation has not kept pace with inflation, making it difficult to feel rewarded despite strong performance. * Career progression lacks transparency. Advancement opportunities are limited, and there are no clearly defined milestones or timelines for promotion in some functions. * Organizational priorities and direction frequently change, making it difficult to execute long-term strategies. Communication from senior leadership can feel disconnected from the realities of frontline employees. * The company has become increasingly top-heavy, with decisions often taking a long time to reach the people responsible for execution. * Incentive structures have become less competitive over time, which has negatively affected motivation and retention
