Pros
Paid time off is exceptional. Some departments/supervisors offer flexibility as long as you complete your work. You have the ability to work in many different areas of biotech/drug development.
Cons
High level management doesn't have a clue as to the amount of work or number of challenges an average individual deals with. Sometimes the same can be said for lower level management. Workers are put into inappropriate situations in terms of meeting deadlines and quality of work expectations. Many things fall by the wayside including work-life balance. The economic compensations and verbal affirmations for a job well done are intermittent and in some work areas are non-existent. On a regular basis people are busting their tails to get work completed and are not offered anything in return; it's a one way street...which leads to turnover.
