Great place to work

Pros

Smart, motivated, collaborative group of people. The benefits are for the most part good (medical, maternity leave, 401k match)

Cons

The work from home policy is just not competitive in the Boston biotech market where flexible arrangements are abundant and 2+ days remote a week is commonplace. Alkermes offers 1 day from home a week after you put in place a formal agreement about it signed off by your group.

Pros

Great benefits. Nice people great place to work if you like to be micro managed and lied to by directors.

Cons

No leadership, lack of direction, multiple sites working as if they are not the same company. No career path unless you work in the Waltham office
