Pros

Location, facilities and potential connections in the Biotech world. For those in Sr. Management, the perks are endless with travel and possible chance to fly in the company jet.

Cons

It is not run like a business nor are the decisions based on financial principles. No ROI is applied nor are previous decisions brought under review for whether the goals or objectives were met. The career path is limited for those who support the business. Even research personnel and those involved in the product have limited upward mobility unless you find a mentor or advocate. The move to outsource will be one that bites them in the end.

Pros

Work from home flexibility and the summer and winter shutdown periods are a nice benefit. Good health insurance.

Cons

Management style can be controlling and micromanaging with expectations that shift without clear communication. Employees are held to high standards but not always given the support or clarity needed to meet them. Performance concerns are documented quickly without full context being considered. Culture does not match the company’s public image.
