Pros

Exposure to global colleagues interactions is a good opportunity to learn new cultures and knowledge. Standard benefit package in a corporate setting. Good as stepping stone for getting experience in a specific field.

Cons

Very under compensated - no overtime pay and unfair workload distribution. Doing full service of tasks while being paid at minimum. Incompetent colleagues will only burden more the workload. Upper management is filled with work politics. Some promotions are only based by how close you are to the managers.

Pros

PPD (now owned by Thermo Fischer Scientific) is a very welcoming work environment. Direction is clear and training is comprehensive for anyone with chemical lab skills. Overtime is available and occasionally necessary, but well compensated and usually optional. Workplace has a very do at your own pace style of management.

Cons

Workload can be inconsistent, and occasionally overbearing. Buyout has significantly affected benefits for the worse and pay is fairly substandard. Pay is competitive within related field, but low in comparison to Madison cost of living.
