Pros

Amenities are competitive, scientific work is challenging and engaging. Work life balance is great. Additional PTO with years of service is a great perk.

Cons

Lack of focus in R&D, struggle to make a drug because the goalpost keeps moving or shrinking, or becomes non-existent.

Pros

I learned a lot while working this job. The systems like Veeva and Workfront were difficult to learn at first, but once I got the hang of them it was great. There were a lot of great people working around me that wanted to see me succeed.

Cons

Working as a contract worker had it's cons. At times, it felt like I was a little bit of an afterthought in the company with some superiors because I was not a full time employee. Communication suffered at times as well.
