Pros

Great opportunity to network and learn new skills Great benefits Great opportunity to help patients and health care providers

Cons

Lack of check in meetings and performance feedback provided from my supervisor. I felt very unsupported and like a target was on my back. My supervisor is incompetent without any management skills and she had no repercussions for this, yet it impacted the entire team she directed.

Pros

Really personally gratifying to help make medicines that change lives. Coworkers are great and the campus is beautiful. Used to get parties and concerts but all that has gone away in the last 18 months.

Cons

Pay not competitive. Jobs are complicated and take a long time to learn. Current cost saving initiatives have destroyed the site and efficiency. Job scope is so large it’s impossible to maintain proficiency in an incredibly complex industry. Upper management out of touch with reports.
