Pros

Passion, people, science, mission, and a drive to make an impact on patients lives.

Cons

Not a con, but we're a global company, so you have the early morning or late night meetings. It all works.

Pros

Free coffee and not much else.

Cons

I moved to Oregon for my role. I’ve been here for a few years now. Everything sounded great during interview and speaking with employees, but I get here and it’s so sloppy. There are junior issues that no one knows how to handle, so they become larger issues. There is a serious lack of know-how here and it’s really frustrating. Yesterday our internet went out and no one knew what to do because the management team here is terrible at basic communications. Do we go home, do we work with personal hot spots, do we have any updates or plans? No. It’s just Busch league.
