Pros

Great culture before buy out. The clinical data was already there so all we had to do was launch the product. Easy, right?!

Cons

- Not so great culture after buy out - R&D not strong. Data was already there for their one product that they intended to launch. - Mfg Management relatively disconnected - Experience is really nothing worthwhile or cutting edge that you couldn't get somewhere else

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.
