we received a number of very negative reviews recently pretending to be someone who are current or recent employee, such as this one, however we have never had any HR specialist who worked here for more than 5 years, Piscataway site is small, by the time this review was written we only had 1 HR specialist and as it can be imagined she is very upset by this review. As a matter of fact, does it make sense for someone who hates this company so much to have worked here for 5 years?

Pros

1. Still a fast growing company with many opportunities for career advancement and/or lateral transfer between teams. 2. Very friendly and helpful co-workers (what I miss the most about working there). 3. Commercial team recruits people with no prior work experience. 4. Encourages employees to learn. For someone with an advanced degree in biology and good business sense but lacks work experience, this is a good place to start career in the biotech business world.

Cons

1. Poor benefits (eg. only offers 10 vacation days and 3 sick days a year) 2. Management style is still very "Chinese". I've also heard some bad stories about the company in its early days, but it appears to have improved significantly over these years. The company has just gone public which I hope will help the trend to continue.
