Pros
Work/life balance, flexible schedule, great coworkers and supportive direct management.
Cons
The pay. Very low compared to industry standard with little to no growth. I have been consistently evaluated as "At Standard" by management, yet my raise has been below the inflation rate, essentially a pay cut each year despite having more experience. I feel very stuck in this job, like the only way to progress in my career is to leave the company. I have multiple coworkers who worked their way up from being an entry-level scientist to a senior team lead back before PPD was bought out by Thermo, but that kind of growth does not appear to be possible anymore. Between promotion freezes and genuinely insulting raises, I find it hard to believe these business practices will allow them to retain new-hires for more than a couple of years.
