Pros

United Therapeutics offers an exceptional working environment with a strong sense of purpose and employee support. The company provides free breakfast and lunch every day, and the food quality is truly superb far above what you’d expect from a corporate setting. The amenities across the campus are thoughtfully designed, making the workplace both comfortable and inspiring. Overall, it’s a place that genuinely invests in its people, and it shows in the daily experience of coming to work.

Cons

So far, none has yet been observed.

Horrible Place to Work

Pros

The company's mission is inspiring, the buildings are sunny and clean. The company spends a lot of money that could be spent helping patients by throwing extravagant parties, serving free coffee and subsidizing gourmet meals.

Cons

Every single member of management, from VP Level and above, lack interpersonal skills, make questionable decisions and have limited skill sets. They model unfavorable behaviors by belittling and even mocking their employees. They provide little to no direction and have no managerial skills and generally make everyone's life miserable. If you don't fit the mold or play their games, you will be forced out. Most of the good, competent people have left or have been forced to leave.

RML Leadership Problems

Pros

Very interesting work - the science is fascinating and is cutting edge -The junior staff are among the best I've ever worked with, and they're very flexible and adaptable. They are a huge help in facilitating the work, and are always eager to share their knowledge with folks who are interested in learning what they do. The amenities are really nice when you get to enjoy them: -Free cafeteria is top notch -The gym is well equipped and open to you whenever your schedule permits -The pool is a really nice amenity to have available -Variety of work you may encounter presents decent learning opportunities -Bonuses and RSU rewards are solid -Budgets allow for the opportunity to work with new technologies that might not otherwise be available at other institutions

Cons

-Leadership, in my experience, is condescending and will belittle you, even if you are a subject matter expert in a particular field or technology. -Junior staff don't feel supported enough to speak up, and are afraid of retaliation for escalating issues in good faith. -Salaries have stagnated and are lagging behind competitive rates for the area for candidates coming in with prior experience -Burn out is not taken seriously, and in my experience you pay a 'penalty' with missed opportunities if you prioritize your mental health over the job. -Leadership runs the lab like an academic institution and fails to acknowledge the value of people with industry experience. Myopic view of education vs. experience. -Leadership gets promoted at a much faster rate than that of their direct reports. The work that junior staff do are not rewarded appropriately and people are leaving as a result. -Generally, I've found the environment very toxic and problematic. The management team needs to be retrained on how they interact with their direct reports and treat those under them with respect and dignity. There is a lot of language thrown around that is passive aggressive, condescending, and teetering on what I would all inappropriate. -I've found my experience with HR to be unhelpful, and it's clear they don't take issues seriously enough, and their investigations to good-faith escalations of concerns to be lacking in execution and thoroughness.
