Pros

Ability to work independently in my role. The vacation package and health package are very good much better then other companies.

Cons

Compensation for same positions elsewhere are far less. This is talking about my position the ceiling for growth has stopped to due not being at the head quarter in Boston.

Pros

Good place to get your foot in the door after graduating, if you are interested in pursuing a career with the biotech industry. Sadly, that is the only good thing I can say about this place.

Cons

1. Cube space stinks, Stale environment 2. Cranky and unfriendly co-workers. Some are very immature. 3. Evident Cronyism in regard to promotions 4. Salary doesn't even make the cut to the standard base of what it should be
