Pros
Being part of a winning team in a fast paced environment has been a refreshing change in my career. I'm surrounded by hard-working, A+ players who are dedicated to creating products that make a real difference in people's lives -- gene therapy, cell therapy, and vaccine production are just a few of the markets in which we're changing Life Sciences for the better. It's great to be able to influence how a company does business, carve out a career path, and have a direct and measurable effect on the company's bottom line.
Cons
Being part of a winning team in a fast paced environment isn't for everyone. The old "work hard, play hard" cliche starts with the concept of working hard. Be prepared to roll up the sleeves and pitch in -- everyone takes out the trash around here. This is a passionate business and not a place for those just wanting to punch a clock and collect a paycheck.
