Pros

As new hire I would say the culture so far as been very collaborative. People are willing to help you with anything. They also provide some really nice benefits. Everyone I work with has been here for 5-15 years so that says something about the culture.

Cons

I would say the base pay is a little lower than other biopharma companies in the area. Especially with the high housing costs around Boston.

Pros

The salary and benefits are great. Overall, the company is a good place to work and they are very patient focused. There can be opportunity here if you play your cards right. I enjoy working here and am generally proud.

Cons

The environment is political (toxic at times) and can be difficult to achieve results due to differing opinions and strong personalities. It takes some resilience and patience to work here. There are also many different priorities that are defocusing people and causing stress.
