Pros

Great campus and way too much food everywhere

Cons

They strive so much on work life balance , you hardly see people working in this campus. People come and go as often as they want and there are slackers and time pass employees in every group. Most work is out sourced in post clinical trails and the full time employees just are very much incompetent. The consultants do the majority of the work.

Pros

The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

Cons

QA management has become inept. None of the leadership (aside from maybe one or two) truly understand the nuances of our site and jobs. They refuse to pay you more due to "budget" reasons but won't provide much information, they claim to be transparent but will make decisions behind your back and not communicate them, even if they impact you and/or your job. Leadership doesn't listen to feedback and gets defensive if you even try to give any. It honestly has become a game of politics only in QA and that's not really building any real quality culture.
