Get your foot in the door and keep it there to get out

Pros

Competitive benefits; relaxed dress code; reasonable work/life balance; decent place for entry-level hires to get a foot in the door of the industry, but don't plan on staying too long; biostatisticians are given high esteem and pay (but at the expense of most others)

Cons

Very low opportunity for advancement in most groups; low pay compared to competitors; highly uneven distribution of work load, between and within groups; cliquish culture leads to ostracism and bullying, tolerated and even encouraged by the highest levels; frequent abrupt firings at high levels, generally replaced by outside hires; lack of coherent vision for future growth; HR leader and department are there to spy on employees, not help

No career here

Pros

Flexibility. Still some smart experienced people there but they are gradually trickling away. Willing to hire folks with no experience - unfortunately, they won't learn much that will apply to other companies. Would be a good starting point but don't stay too long!

Cons

Family owned (academics, not business people). No outside members on Board of Directors. All 'leadership' has come from internal promotion, been there too long and none have much experience in 'real' pharma or CRO companies. Promotion system is completely obscure. HR is not to be trusted. Outdated home-grown systems and processes throughout. Recently inspected by FDA and things did not go well. Can't keep senior QA staff.
