Pros

Learn best practices such as standard work, kaizens and kanban. People are great. The culture does not tolerate resistance to change

Cons

Most people are dissatisfied with the work/life balance. VP Operations is generally despised by everyone. There is very little latitude for creativity. Follow DBS is the mantra

MolDev is a nice little biotech still suffering growing pains from its early start up days.

Cons

Since MolDev sold itself to MDS in 2006, then later Danaher, it has struggled for clear direction and market positioning
