Pros

The company has really good benefits and market data is analyzed to ensure that pay stays competitive.

Cons

The company still needs to scale. Although the company has radford data that best shows market salary for a biotech, the company needs to get everyone to market salary which was lacking when I was there. They were working on it though!
