Pros
Excellent work life balance, generally you will work 9-5, sometimes on weekends but are given advance noticed. Casual dress code, flexible with personal, vacation and sick days. Excellent opportunity for an entry level person in terms of early exposure to a vast array of pharmaceutical companies and biotechs. Everyone is very nice, eager to help you expand your skill set, and genuinely seem to care about you as a person rather than just a coworker.
Cons
Benefits are being stripped away after moving offices - no more free lunch, no more gym membership discounts, summer parties and holiday parties are now expected to be planned by teams instead of HR, and they got rid of the office exchange program. Salaries and raises are diminutive, no bonuses, no clear trajectory for your career, extremely limited formal training opportunities. You will work really hard here, learn a ton, and be extremely undervalued.
