Pros

For the most part, great coworkers, pretty good benefits, perks like free donuts. Good starting lab job. I've found that a lot of people like it for the first couple years then begin to hate it.

Cons

As posted in other reviews, people who are awful at their jobs are promoted for some reason. A lot of it has to do with politics and who likes you. You can barely work but yet if you're friends with certain people you can work your way up quickly while those who actually do all the work get nothing and often take all the blame for mistakes. Which you shouldn't make. Even the simplest mistakes that don't cost the company money can bring severe punishment. Management is cutting support staff to the bone to make themselves look good.

Pros

Provided health insurance. Good coworkers Good exposure to team at client site If you have a good technical lead, the job can be great!

Cons

You have 2 bosses (Technical lead from Client Site) and your PPD boss. PPD Boss does not know what is going on If you have a bad technical lead, your life can be miserable. Pay is low No protection from abusive technical lead (coworkers on same team can have a drastically different experience)
