Pros

Good benefits Good people to work with Variety in workload

Cons

Too much work + additional work streams outside day to day role making it harder to complete project tasks without burning out Project process is not as slick as it could be, which drives down efficiency Lots of administrative activities for the teams, feels a bit disjointed and constantly relies on memos and 3 or 4 different methods of communicating - storing documents Big discrepancies in pay across the team Difficult to speak up and be honest/have opinions Culture making it increasingly difficult to hold others to account - with no blame culture a lot of people fly under the radar doing the bare minimum while others are overloaded Favouritism regardless of how hard you work - if they like you, you'll be promoted

Pros

standard benefits are generous: paid time off, health, dental, company shutdown 1 week end of year, etc.,; avenues to interact with internationally colleagues and teams

Cons

toxic culture at Waltham bioscience despite a generally better culture globally, gossip and favoritism, experiences are dependent on team and manager within department, and, dishonest management is not evaluated critically
