Pros

Easy to get a job for people with little experience as they are desperate for employees

Cons

New management in 2018 and treated the experience talented people like crap. One by one, the experienced people left and replace with people that don't know what they are doing.

Avid needs 'Quality' new hires.

Pros

Lower level people work hard and want to do the right thing. Some supervisors care about their people and try to support them regardless of whether upper management doesn't.

Cons

Old boy system. People that have been there more than few years have been promoted although they don't really have the industry experience. They contradict the newly industry experienced people. Decisions seem to be made that benefit the company or to protect themselves. Quality is just a term they throw around but it doesn't follow what industry expects. They need to hire leadership that does have industry experience and remove unqualified older management starting from the CEO down to managers.

Pros

Very elegant conference room with glass blocks and hardwood walls. Beautiful conference table. The CEO rarely leaves his office do you don't need to worry about him popping in in you.

Cons

CEO and CEO only have industry experience from this company, so they remain tragically and sometimes embarrassingly inexperienced. CFO is essentially an accountant with an inexplicably large staff. He often creates knee-jerk rules, many of which are laughably naïve. CEO is too intimidated by his senior staff to make independent decisions. For a company that is over 30 years old very few senior management have pharmaceutical industry experience. The company has never produced a profit. Ever. Think about it. None of their clinical stage drugs have any chance whatsoever of becoming approved products. That was shown recently when when bavituximab recently (and mercifully) failed a pivotal trial.
