Cons
The biosciences can be a risky venture and the realities of the marketplace may disrupt even the best business plan. This can be at times stressful on the teams involved with execution. There may also be the human interpersonal tribulations, but the environment of trust and respect that is embedded in the organization help keep those in check.
