Pros

Good place to start to learn GMP, and aseptic technique. Open area. Helping to save lives.

Cons

Most people who work here, want to be in a different department. You don't get told your shift until after training. Lots of unplanned overtime. Most people don't have a desk or phone. Sounds like a lab position, but at the end of the day it's still manufacturing.

Pros

- Great benefits including 401K matching, tuition re imbursement, HSA matching, stock/bonus awards, and wellness awards. - Excellent campus with onsite/subsidized food court, gym, volleyball/pickle ball/volley ball court, zoom enables conference rooms, and shuttle service. - Company shutdown in July and December. - Laboratory spaces stocked with new equipment. - Utilizes electronic batch record system instead of paper.

Cons

- Poor collaboration between site leadership resulting in distractingly competitive environment focused more on positive optics rather than continuous improvement. - Poor short term and long term planning, often resulting in inconsistent operations schedule and unclear deadlines/objectives.
