Great team, historically poor but improving benefits, but poor leadership and promotion opportunities

Scientist

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Not bad as pharma companies go. Relatively good job security. A lot of lovely, smart and hard working people. Benefits team are generally receptive and benefits have improved. Less likely to lay people off than other pharma/biotech.

Cons

Your experience is almost entirely dictated by your managers. Adherence to official policies is super variable. Site is relatively siloed from the rest of the company, top-heavy, and academic. Too many PhDs, not enough entry level development to support projects and execution. Sometimes a lack of clear leadership or direction and bizarre "old school" pharma opaque communication. Very limited, once yearly opportunities for promotion. Bizarre pay /compensation penalties for taking parental leave that saddles two different calendar years.

Business Outlook

Pros

If you want to elevate your sales acumen and learn all of the specialized pieces that will make you extremely marketable, immunology is the place to be.

Cons

Completely driven by metrics and not common sense. Culture is terrible. Culture is a buzz word, but no one actually cares to address the issue.
