Business Outlook
Pros
Excellent company. Smart people. Great to work for a company that's creating human therapeutics to help improve lives. Cutting-edge campus. Great pay / bonus, excellent 401K match. Christmas week shutdown and 4th of July shutdown time off, in addition to vacation.
Cons
Biotech is a volatile industry. Company constantly changing to remain competitive. Since joining, I've continually looked over my shoulder with frequent org changes / layoffs. Non-core business functions (i.e. back office support, etc.), these roles are not always given the priority that's given to the science side, which is understandable. Can be difficult to find other internal roles, as it can be challenging to get noticed within such a big organization.
