Pros

I was able to learn a lot from my mentor (person who trained me once they got promoted) and my managers were great. There are a lot of young people and everyone (company wide) is pretty friendly and welcoming for the most part. The company wide events were great and it was nice to be able to volunteer with coworkers.

Cons

- There are a lot of narcissists in the clinical department. If you join, you'll know what I'm taking about. Upper management cares more about the bottom line than well being. They turn away if they see toxic behavior as long as they get the results they want. - HR is terrible. They will gaslight you and manipulate you all day. Especially if you are a person of color, they will pay you less than your white counterparts. They don't define what you need to grow and be promoted. I was there and found out people with less education and experience were making the same amount (if not more). - The diversity and inclusion is nonexistent. This is a very backwards company; could not even say black lives matter during 2020 but they have the audacity to say other things. It seems most of the executives are very conservative. Nothing wrong with that but TREAT PEOPLE FAIRLY. -There was no growth. Everyone tried to take short cuts and I saw no future here for me.

Pros

Beautiful Location Friendly atmosphere on the surface Slightly above average benefits with ESPP and RSU stock Decent Pay Great Pipeline

Cons

Very poor management and lack of structure in Operations. Quarterly meetings are meaningless with no clear individual goals or site goals. No clear path for any level of team member. Basic pharma knowledge and rules are not followed on a daily basis. HR can be very unprofessional and has a tendency for dishonesty. Over working mid-level management due to improper Upper management philosophies and egos. Training is lack luster but slowly improving. Tenured employees pay is below industry/market standard. Promotions can be very political. Sr management/heads of company are disconnected from the company. Very abysmal HR dept. and Safety dept. Only worried about making money. Not truly team oriented. Not a process centric organization or an organization that focuses on its people.

Pros

Very deep and innovative new product pipeline. Extremely capable commercial organization (sales/marketing) with a best in class global market access group. Fun place to work.

Cons

Too many projects and not enough people to work on them so workload is pretty high and you have to love a fast paced, challenging environment.
