Pros

Great resource for achieving resaerch. Talented and passionate colleagues.

Cons

Not up to Bay area pay standard, compensation package and perks. The standard lean towards Chicago HQ. The management only sees the employee satisfaction based on low competetive labor market at HQ. Only 10 years old, but have all the problems as other big pharma. No transparency at HR.

Pros

I learned a lot while working this job. The systems like Veeva and Workfront were difficult to learn at first, but once I got the hang of them it was great. There were a lot of great people working around me that wanted to see me succeed.

Cons

Working as a contract worker had it's cons. At times, it felt like I was a little bit of an afterthought in the company with some superiors because I was not a full time employee. Communication suffered at times as well.
