Pros

Good research opportunities in the novel molecules area. Opportunity to work with a variety of microorganisms.

Cons

Most teams have a toxic work culture. The mid-management has very little idea about the business and most of them don't care about their staff or work hard enough to raise the standard of the company. Very few people stay in the company for more than 3 years and there is a lot of frustration among current employees. Many are actively looking for opportunity outside and waiting to quit!
