Pros

Benefits were great even compared to other big pharmas, great people and culture, great dei initiative compared to other pharma companies, flexible working hours, relatively good processes. Great science. Patient focused.

Cons

Management is clearly not trained well but they do their best. Could be more transparent. Company wide dei initiatives exist - many opportunities to join calls and discussions but in the day to day it doesn’t seem to matter as much. Probably team/department dependent. Company is restructuring often. Making changes then redoing those changes. Resulting in more and more layoffs then reposting of positions that were cut. I really liked Vas up to the announcement of the huge cuts.

Pros

Pays pretty well in comparison to similar jobs in the market

Cons

Unstable schedule where you are often asked to come in overnight (1-2 am) regardless of if you have worked the previous day or are off. Basically feels like you're permanently on-call to conduct environmental monitoring. Training is slow. The Micro dept in general is currently understaffed. The job also involves lab work once you are done with your daily environmental monitoring tasks. The work never ceases and the Technicians as a whole has several responsibilities. Promotions seem to come very slowly here.
