Associate scientist

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great Benefits/pay Excellent work/life balance Plenty of opportunities to grow professionally for management R&D seems to be heading in the right direction with the recent move to Boston to be closer to academia. Very open environment both personally and professionally.

Cons

Not enough opportunities for growth for associates in the company very politically driven when it comes to promotions Less emphasis on R&D and more emphasis on Procurement. R&D is more of a show for investors than source for future products. Seems that outsourcing is becoming their business model of choice
