Pros

You will learn new techniques and receive so much experience in microbiology and molecular biology. The entry level staff, such as the RAs, RTs, and scientists are very helpful and nice, you are really able to make friends with them. If you want to learn new skills, you able to do so.

Cons

Constantly working on many different projects. The directions of the projects are constantly changing and upper management does not communicate that downward. Transparency is supposed to be a core value and is poorly executed by upper management and middle management. You cannot work 40 hour work weeks, you have to work 50-60 hour work weeks. There is no work-life balance, you will burn out quick here. The unlimited PTO policy doesn’t get used that often since you are looked at funny if you actually take off days, but management says “they care about you.” The turn around rate at this company is so high because they don’t care about anyone here. If you currently work there or are looking to work there I suggest to keep to yourself and also think to yourself “why is everyone leaving this place?” Furthermore, the website does not even show the staff members anymore, probably because so many are leaving.

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.
