Pros

-somehow this company gets blessed with awesome employees -lots of learning opportunities in various departments -great exposure to biotech industry

Cons

-salaries always on the low end for almost all positions in comparison to industry norms -assigned "career paths" that limit growth and opportunity by creating hoops people must jump through to be even eligible for advancement and even then do not guarantee promotions/pay raises -actual job performance and capabilities are rarely observed for consideration of pay increases -head of HR is also part of ownership so employees do not feel comfortable approaching HR about anything

Pros

-amazing team of people within R&D -hands-on lab experience -benefits are decent -a lot of female representation in leadership -parent company has a lot of interesting opportunities

Cons

-does anyone outside of R&D actually think about potential setbacks (rhetorical)? Science doesn't care about your bottom line -commercial/marketing/sales does not care about innovation. They want whatever will put money into their pockets immediately -commercial/marketing/sales is so completely out of touch with what good and ethical science really is, that it's scary sometimes (and that goes all the way up to the head of the department)
