Pros

-Cool coworker (direct coworkers NOT management) -Company parties/gifts -Location

Cons

Upper management is absolute horribleThey don't care about their employees simple as that. They are continually going through power struggles. They have no idea what they are doing as far as delivering effective communication, creating a healthy work space, and people management. There are a lot of holes in this company and it's sad. No one knows the real reason they are here besides getting a paycheck and that should be very concerning for the people receiving the treatment they are producing. Also, there is very bad work-life balance here. Be prepared to miss all the important events that are important to you and the people in your personal life cause if you don't put in for time off 4-7 months ahead of time you can forget about going anywhere. This company was also low balling me in compensation. Every biotech including ones you have never heard of are getting paid more than people are here. I found out that people that were male and had a degree from lesser established universities were getting paid more than me for the same job title and duties for a while until they evened it out later in the year. Which we still were being under paid.

Pros

Some managers were exceptional mentors and played a significant role in my professional growth. Good benefits and a reasonable severance package during workforce reductions. Opportunities to work on large-scale marketing initiatives and collaborate with experience professionals across the organization and globe.

Cons

Advancement opportunities often felt inconsistent and lacked any transparency. Leadership frequently emphasized data-driven decision making, but business decisions did not always appear to align with the metrics being presented. The company appeared hesitant to embrace emerging technologies and AI-driven approaches, limiting innovation in multiple areas. Job security is uncertain, and organizational changes occur frequently with little warning. Management quality varied significantly, While some leaders were outstanding, others struggled with communication, strategic direction, and people management. Career growth seemed to depend heavily on organizational politics and alignment with leadership rather than solely on measurable performance.
