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.

Pros

Working at BioNTech US has been a very positive experience so far. They are scientist and researchers that remember that we are all people with things going on in life. Basically, they created a friendly environment that allows one to productive and in control of their schedule (as long as work gets done). People here have been great! -pay -work life balance -accessibility to people at all levels

Cons

The on boarding is a long process and I believe could be streamlined a bit better. Still, they have added many employees at fast rates so this could be the reason why.
