Pros

1. Very inspiring mission. Playing a small part to serve patients that need us is a very good reason to come to work every day 2. Intentional shifts in company's operating model over the past 2+ yrs have set us up for continued growth and success long-term 3. There is a deep level of CARE that is palpable from all who work here

Cons

This is likely a con for all pharma/biotech companies, but things can change a lot and do so quickly; so if you're not someone who is typically able to roll with the punches well and remain flexible with changing priorities, give extra care and thought to whether this sector is right for you.

Pros

The benefits package is strong and competitive, which adds a lot of overall value. There are many internal departments and career paths, making it relatively easy to explore new roles and grow within the company. On-site cafeteria is a convenient and appreciated perk. Many colleagues are highly experienced and have been with the company and industry for years, making them great resources for learning and mentorship.

Cons

Promotion policies can be limiting—there seems to be an informal rule that prevents employees from being promoted more than once in a year, even for high performers. Salary could be more competitive compared to market rates. Equipment and internal systems feel outdated and could benefit from modernization to improve efficiency.
