      Pros

      Salary is competitive Work is engaging and meaningful I loved the people and have formed last friendships I learned so much by working in a GMP/GLP environment that serves me well in my new position Well-run, transparent company with plenty of social events and free food/drink Opportunities to work with clients and ensure patient safety

      Cons

      The coffee isn't too good Rockville isn't the most hip place to be working

      Good (mostly) and some room for improvment

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Nice (did I say nice?) people. No back stabbing, very helpful, (relaxed as much as possible). Provide lots of free food. Relatively flex hours. Several good years of growth trend. Respectful. Diverse work force.

      Cons

      Salary + benefits could be better. Stagnant, very hard to drive change. High turnover of experienced people (>1 y) hamper stability and growth (see salary above). No clear road map. Objectives seem to shift. Critical resources misuse. Tasks change on the go. Fire extinguishing mode is too often for a company this size. Inter-Departmental collaboration could be improved.

      Pros

      This company will break you. The other technicians you will meet are hard workers. Management is the opposite, they will post reviews trying to give this place as many stars as they can to try and hire many people as possible. The nickname for this place is called the "revolving door"

      Cons

      management cannot be trusted. They will make you or coerce you to do things you do not want to and they will keep bugging you about it until you give up. To management you are a number here not an asset.
