Pros

Reputable Name Salary Benefits Great place to learn about Biopharma

Cons

Horrible Leadership! Culture has a long way to go due to poor HR departments. Many upper level employees do not respond to emails from employees who are not in a leadership position. Moving up is absolutely impossible, unless you are best friends with the right person. Recruiting process is a joke! Hard work is not rewarded, it is all about who you know, which is why almost 75% of the people landed a role within the organization because of an employee referral.

Pros

I learned a lot while working this job. The systems like Veeva and Workfront were difficult to learn at first, but once I got the hang of them it was great. There were a lot of great people working around me that wanted to see me succeed.

Cons

Working as a contract worker had it's cons. At times, it felt like I was a little bit of an afterthought in the company with some superiors because I was not a full time employee. Communication suffered at times as well.
