Pros

Great benefits, good pay, excellent vacation time-starts immediately. Truly making a difference in the lives of patients. Great CEO!

Cons

It seems like people brought in at mid-senior management levels are not evaluated for cultural fit and by the time they're hired, no one wants to have to interview for the position again so they stay. This leads to a decline in the culture Alkermes is/was known for.

Everyone who works here is very nice, the benefits package is very attractive, you will definitely get a lot of experience in the R&D departments

Cons

Every project is always in a time crunch, there are some less experienced managers who aren't exactly ready to be taking on direct reports, base pay is below industry level
