Pros

I really cannot think of any with the exception that employees will not be in the field until at least the end of Q2 2021. Good luck with that ... anyone concerned with job security?

Cons

Political ... the interview/hiring process is ALWAYS slanted towards friends and preferred candidates. The ecosystem leads are flying by the seat of their pants. Many un-needed/useless rolls that have no impact or quantifiable value - the Thought Leader Liaison is one of these. High pay and NO impact. Career opportunity has been minimized to almost zero with the implementation of the ecosystem model.

Pros

Great culture and people-centered environment Very well-established labs with advanced instrumentation to learn Diverse background teams

Cons

Too big and too many teams and meetings, sometimes take a while to navigate and building connection
