Pros

The company has a start up mentality. Lot of work and that is expected for any start up. However. the returns are amazing. The working teams are always brain storming and everyone is open to new ideas and supportive of team member's points of view. One very prominent vibe in this company is that it is all about the patient and the employees that work for making products for the patients. The company is very inclusive but not very overtly political knowing the current circumstances. Everyone is open, friendly and personal interests are supported. The managers are very intune to their employee's work-life balance. The interview process are very thorough and HR is very responsive. I would recommend this company for anyone who has interest in the the new Biotechnology , especially cell therapy

Cons

the commute was the only downside but now working from home and being equally productive

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.
