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.

Pros

Excellent compensation, benefits, and career development opportunities. Strong investment in innovation, patient-focused mission, and world-class manufacturing capabilities. The New Albany site offers exposure to complex biologics operations, large-scale capital projects, and opportunities to work alongside talented and dedicated professionals committed to delivering medicines to patients.

Cons

The culture and leadership experience became increasingly inconsistent during the last year. Decision-making often lacked transparency, priorities shifted frequently, and employee feedback did not always appear to be valued. The people-centered culture that attracted many long-tenured employees seemed to drift, resulting in reduced trust, lower engagement, and increased organizational uncertainty.
