Pros

Flex scheduling, decent PTO, exceptionally friendly coworkers, experience doing all stages of drug development and testing within an FDA regulated lab

Cons

Some of the Group Leaders are not very effective leaders. My primary Group Leader was always in a terrible mood, never appreciated work done above and beyond expectations, and gave terrible, unfair reviews. I got a 2 cent raise after working for over a year, and this was rewarded to me after I figured out what was causing one particular assay to fail repeatedly and which she took credit for in the end.

Pros

High profile industry, relatively high pay, relatively good experience for future endeavors, looks good on resume

Cons

too sweatshop in many ways, i.e. middle mgmt tasked with producing results so they pass it on to everyone doing the work, while tools, planning, process improvement and efficiency lags behind the times
