Pros

Good work-life balance. Medical benefits are pretty solid.

Cons

No equity or stock options for entry-level positions. Senior positions get some stock but vesting time is 3 years. Managers tend to be very inexperienced and cliquey.

Pros

It used to be a good place sometime ago, but current leaders are toxic!

Cons

My experience at this company has been deeply disappointing and distressing. The workplace culture is toxic, dominated by bullying behavior, favoritism, and a lack of integrity. Promotions and bonuses are distributed within a closed circle of colleagues, many of whom have been recruited directly from AstraZeneca, often bypassing fair recruitment practices. Leadership positions are granted to individuals who demonstrate poor ethics and low morale, further perpetuating a culture of mistrust and injustice. HR lacks transparency and fails to uphold basic standards of fairness, often turning a blind eye to serious issues raised by employees. The environment is highly political, with an alarming tendency to cover up problems rather than address them constructively. I was ultimately forced to seek legal advice due to the severity of the situation. I would not recommend this workplace to anyone who values professionalism, respect, and ethical standards.
