Pros

+ young company + ample training + limited travel + friendly environment + specializing in pharma + strong firm outlook

Cons

Although I liked working in pharma, there is limited variety in the project types which makes it easy to get burned out. The management is out of touch with how people feel about the firm and they are slowing down promotions cycle.

Pros

Strong culture and collaborative environment with smart, supportive colleagues. Admins are trusted partners and get exposure to senior leadership, which provides great learning opportunities. Compensation and benefits are competitive compared to similar roles.

Cons

Workload can be high, with admins often supporting multiple stakeholders while also providing backup coverage. Expectations can vary widely depending on the team, which can create inconsistency and pressure. Career growth paths are less structured and require a lot of self-direction. Work-life balance can be challenging at times, especially across time zones.
