Pros

Face paced. Always something to do. Your hands are in your product from R&D to Marketing to Sales. You'll learn a lot about all the aspects of Biotech if you're an RA. A lot of opportunity for you to become who you want to be, one of the few places you can move from R&D to Marketing to HR to wherever you want to be, as long as you have the skill and talent. Free lunch on Thursdays. Medical, Dental, Vision and Life Insurance are paid 100% if you're single. People are friendly and willing to help. CEO is very open and approachable.

Cons

Pay is average. There are always 'those' people who you wonder what they're getting paid to do.
