Pros

Caliper LS provided a better chance to its employee along growth with a small biotech company. Top management driving direction is very clear

Cons

However, for each one need tp figure out how to follow the top management's direction, otherwise it is easy to lost yourself during transition together with mid layer management.

Pros

Flexible schedule, interesting work, good starting salary, good tuition reimbursement benefit.

Cons

Managers appear to have poor people skills. Few opportunities for advancement unless you are buddy-buddy with management. Crappy insurance that's expensive. Talentless BS-ers will get promoted over intelligent, hard working people. No profit sharing. Poor yearly raises. Little recognition for a job well-done.
