Pros

the people you work directly with are amazing, opportunity to learn a lot for those who are entry level

Cons

but most of them won't be there much longer. upper management gives a top down hierarchical trickle effect to all of the workers, giving them impossible deadlines and expectations to meet (which causes a lot of stress and disfunction). if you don't meet the crazy expectations, you're kicked out of the cult. expect to be doing 3-4 jobs at the same time, while being paid for less than 1. salaries are exceptionally low compared to other companies and opportunities in RTP. if you're coming in with experience, they don't take it into consideration, which is why they look for fresh graduates/post-docs to groom into working 60 hours/week. you create great relationships because misery loves company, and that's what this company feeds off of. "unlimited PTO" is not real depending on what department you're in. work/life balance is nonexistent. you could be the best worker, but if upper management doesn't like you, you're out and never coming back. the ship is sinking.

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

Pros

Great environment to learn new instruments and new things.

Cons

Toxic work environment. Everyone seems nice but they are the same people who will snitch on you for favors from management.
