Pros

There's a lot of energetic and passionate people at BNT, working on some potentially marvellous and world-changing drugs. And the company does want to "walk to the talk", be innovative and do things right.

Cons

Unfortunately, the reality is that BioNTech is chaotic and poorly run. There are almost no processes or structure, so much is done at the last moment and in a slap-dash way that it's almost a company standard. Management would rather show up at public appearances and photo ops or talk loftily about "mission" and "passion" than try to make the company work. This doesn't bode well for the future.
