Pros

PPD (now owned by Thermo Fischer Scientific) is a very welcoming work environment. Direction is clear and training is comprehensive for anyone with chemical lab skills. Overtime is available and occasionally necessary, but well compensated and usually optional. Workplace has a very do at your own pace style of management.

Cons

Workload can be inconsistent, and occasionally overbearing. Buyout has significantly affected benefits for the worse and pay is fairly substandard. Pay is competitive within related field, but low in comparison to Madison cost of living.
