Science is cutting edge and that is about it.

Work hard, work hard culture with no work-life balance and a high employee turnover rate. The pay is mediocre for the long and stressful hours required to be "successful" here.

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

I have great workers! Also, I've been able to work on a few different projects in different departments (R&D, manufacturing, and clinical) and have been given a lot of responsibility. My work seems to be appreciated and I've been regularly promoted. Finally, our drug seems to be doing really well in the clinic, and TBH, killing bacteria with engineered viruses is probably the most exciting thing I could be doing.

Cons

Long hours sometimes and changing priorities
