Pros

Good salary and benefits if your salary personal. Product is a good market leader and strong. Good location to live in the North Atlanta area. Basic steady cost of living pay increase of 2% yearly. Heath insurance cost average for the coverage.

Cons

Very micro-managed upper management. Management not trust worthy, very inconsistent and a good old boy type culture. Hard to fit in if you come in new to the environment. Company not willing to invest were it needs to be. Advancement within the company not going to happen. Internal communication of changes and close to home activities not good.

Pros

Good starting point for a career in pharma and biotech . Exposure to a variety of customer projects. Great experience if you want to get into consultancy or join a proper big swiss pharma like Roche or Novartis

Cons

Pathetic pay and unreasonable expectations when getting thrown into tech transfer from an acquired company
