Thank you for your feedback. Our goal is to have an environment where our employees feel empowered to make decisions and we strive to foster an environment where everyone is treated with respect and dignity. We embrace diversity and look to gather feedback from others cross-functionally within the organization to promote different thought processes and outcomes. Unfortunately, the pharmaceutical industry can be unstable, and we recognize this. At times, reorganizations and/or reductions in forces are outcomes of a change in the business climate or the redirection of business strategies. During these times, we treat people fairly, while maintaining their dignity. This is always and unfortunate outcome of the business, and we do our best to ensure a smooth exit transition.

Pros

It was a job in a abysmal market. At least it lets you get a foot in the industry door and gives you something write on your resume. With no previous industry experience before Boston Biomedical, I'd say I wouldn't have gotten my current job without work experience.

Cons

There is a reason why CEO Chiang Li's biotech start-ups never had any clinical success. Regardless of how much he preaches that he cares about patients and making a contribution to medicine, he is a businessman, nothing more, nothing less. He's in the business of starting a start-up, generating convincing enough data that he can sweet talk bigger pharmaceutical companies into purchasing. Just like his idol Steve Jobs (he even dresses similar to Jobs), he bullies and belittles his employees in front of people and displays the same narcissism. He makes sales pitch to his employees about what kind of difference we are making to patients and how scientists are at the core of the company, etc. etc. which is all BS. I don't have to go into too much detail. You will notice how all the positive reviews sound the same and pretty short. There's no raving reviews. All the negative reviews are quite extensive and very detailed. I really don't need to add much more to it.
