Pros

Good people doing good work. The benefits are really good as will as the onsite perks (gym, day care, cafeterias, car wash, etc.). People generally seem happy.

Cons

Not a small start-up biotech company anymore. Very heavy with layers and layers management. It is hard to get a decision made without multiple levels of people feeling they need to give input.

Demanding work schedule. Heavy on administrative workload. Approvals are required for nearly everything as the company is very paranoid about all compliance guidelines.

Didn't get a tremendous opportunity for in-house review of my skills, performance or training. More emphasis on sampling different industries for interns would be appreciated.
