Business Outlook

Pros

Interesting science/technology, good overall rapport amongst those of the same rank.

Cons

Management is not remotely equipped to manage people, but that's primarily because they simply don't value it or find it important. For some reason, it seems to insult their intelligence/scientific aptitude to focus on the people in any way. A lot of toxic positivity. Expect to drink a gallon of the Kool-Aid every day just to avoid shame and suspicion from management about your 'lack of dedication to the company goals.' Management expects everyone of all ranks to have the save level of stake/personal investment in the company as the CEO. Bit deluded.

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
