Growing Pains for US

Senior scientist

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

* We get to work on a globally-recognized life saving product as well as develop novel therapies against cancer and a variety of infectious diseases * Fast company growth gives employees the ability to climb the ranks of the company faster than elsewhere and help to develop new workflows and procedures * Comfortable work life balance * Fair but competitive compensation

Cons

* Process are still being developed and timelines to get global projects done are long and unpredictable. It can take a year to get approval to work with a new vendor * Non-German sites seem to be treated as afterthoughts to the company as a whole. Decisions are made in Germany without any input from US stakeholders.
