Pros

Challenging environment that suits those willing to push themselves and work on exciting technology. The entire pipeline is integrated like an assembly line so you can appreciate many different aspects of biotech without feeling silod.

Cons

The management is lacking in experience. Many are first timers with little understanding of how to delegate and develop those that report to them. There is clear favoritism and promotions are given out with absolutely no clear reasoning or rubric. In fact, they are often given without any announcement. There is a clear misappropriation of resources. Some groups work much longer hours than others. Lastly, meetings are too frequent without any actionable agenda extracted from them. Often a huge waste of time.

Pros

- Interesting science, talented scientists and RAs that are passionate about the product and goal of the company - Most interesting projects can be pursued with minimal bureaucracy (if you're on the right team) - Solid funding for research; can buy virtually whatever you need to get the job done. - Company hiring aggressively to reduce team workloads

Cons

- Lack of trust and scrutiny from the top down for clinical work, resulting in micromanaging and severe anxiety. It's easy to experience burnout. - PACT's aggressive goals and culture results in crazy workloads at the expense of hiring and critical infrastructure for the clinical trial. Many forms are literally printed and signed physically - Management pretends to care about work-life balance but expects scientists/RAs to work as late as necessary to get work done - Science is well funded but management has extremely tight purse strings for employee perks. Pre-COVID, upper management would routinely buy weekly lunches for themselves, but not employees. A lot of leftover rice and salad was left in the lunchroom. - Some managers have no experience managing and it shows. There are a lot of communication issues and favoritism in certain groups (i.e. people getting promoted every year over more qualified individuals).
