Pros

Lots of different areas to specialize in. AAD has a great leader who is turning things around. AI isn't lip service, there's a lot of real effort and investment being made. Divserity and Inclusion isn't lip service, its real.

Cons

ETO is incredibly missmanged, takes credit for the work of the divisions and groups, doens't understand the actual business needs, is overpriced, and incredibly arrogant especially at the very top. They have cover from IT Leadership and no one wants to talk about how the code is sub par, lacks documentation, and has created enourmous technical debt.

Pros

Easy to get hired and start overall, good beginner job, can have slow periods where you get to chill/WFH, pays decent enough

Cons

At least on the team I'm on, the turnover is insanely high so management is never very experienced and as a result the workload/schedule is inconsistent and stressful. Most of the time they have unrealistic work expectations, you are overworked and they don't listen when you suggest ways to improve the issue. They say they will promote you based on experience, but not true. They pay worse than most of the competitors in the area. If you can start at another biotech in the area, I would over this company.

Pros

Enjoyable collaborations with Sponsors most of the time.

Cons

Reducing 401K contribution to 5% match, and only allotting these funds twice per year is insanity.
