Pros
The only pros I can think of are the free food and the chance of getting skills to find a better opportunity for yourself at another company.
Cons
In the beginning, this company had a lot of potentials. However, the true colors of the company are prevalent the longer you work there. There is a huge lack of interpersonal skills, horrible communication skills, higher management gossip about each other teams, no career growth, passive-aggressive behavior is evident and performed daily, and a HUGE LACK OF LEADERSHIP. Managers use their teams to make themselves look good rather than validating and giving their team members the chance to grow and learn within the company. A couple of teams within the company are ignored and left out daily. This can take a toll on a group of talented individuals who deserve better. No wonder this company has such a HUGE turnover rate. A lot of teams wanting to shadow other teams for a chance to learn new skills, get rejected due to managers being incompetent. We are people, not machines! There is no danger in taking 5 to 10 minutes to watch someone explain what their tasks are. There is a HUGE disconnect between teams that make it hard for anyone on site to be able to understand certain problems. It is expected that anyone from any team should know the things someone else knows. Responsibilities are a MESS. Certain tasks are pushed down on you that is not a part of your job description and you get gaslighted if you show any ounce of resistance. Not only are responsibilites a mess, but there is a lot of micromanagement. Managers have the audacity to ask for help on certain projects, but then make a 180 turn wanting to control every aspect of what you are assigned and treat you with disrespect. It is appalling to see the lack of work appreciation and respect between and within the teams. Do yourself a favor and look for another company to start working in biotech. Only consider working here for a short period or in times of desperation.
