Pros

Was hired right after gradschool with relatively good pay/benefits. Learned "cGMP" and lab techniques at "the industry standard". It's a good "first job" but not something to stay there forever.

Cons

Extremely high turnover rate (>50%). There is no work-life balance and people do the job of 2-3 people, including lab cleaning. Benefits could be better, specially the vesting options and parental leave (there was no parental leave). The biopharma department at the Durham site pretty much has no leadership and managers are very unhelpful and unorganized.Methods are validated very poorly due to lack of leadership, and they are pushed through somehow. Good luck deciphering a test method. Do not expect management to fulfill their promises on raises or anything nice.

Pros

Great People Lots of areas to learn and grow. Strong Senior Leadership Good Benefits Good Work Environment Lots of Fun activities

Cons

Seen as the site that doesn't make money and we hear about it frequently. this leads to unnecessary stress or anxiety around job security. Unsure of what will happen to Cambrex in the next few years due to Permira which also creates more concern around job security. Inability to make changes that will bring in more revenue due to decisions made at the top.

Pros

Company management overall seems to make values based decisions- balancing the financial strength of the company while continuing to invest for growth and provide new benefits to employees. And everyone is eligible for a bonus based on performance which is great!

Cons

Some flunky processes and systems still exist.

Pros

Benefits are decent, pay is on the lower end. Some management is good.

Cons

Arrogance across the board. Agawam is the place to be if you want to be treated as dirt. Some managers are absolutely backwards and do not support their teams and allow poor behavior to continue.
