Pros
Comradery, supportive supervisors (at least those I know in AFS), and GREAT benefits. I'm talking paid floating holidays, 401K matching on up to 5% of your annual pay, good dental/vision/life insurance.
Cons
The turnover rate is high right now but they aren't just letting people go no reason. Those who do their best and don't try to cover up their mistakes are given the benefit of the doubt and a fair shake.

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI worked at KBI Biopharma full-time for more than 5 years
Pros
As a rapidly growing company, KBI has many growth opportunities for people who are willing to put in dedicated time and effort. If motivated, a person can pick up a lot of technical skills and industry experience in a short time. The pace of work is demanding, but everyone is willing to help each other out. The growth paths are also not limited to just one track, with some people choosing to move to a different department (or change sites) within the company.
Cons
The downside of working at KBI right now is that the company is growing very quickly and the workload can be challenging. Management and most lab staff are filled with dedicated people who often overwork themselves, which sets a bad precedence. People are not made to feel bad for not doing the same, but it is hard not to try to keep up with others on the team; thus perpetuates this culture. Though this is largely a known issue and management is trying to address it, it is a hard problem to fix. While the management team is listening and soliciting feedback, the difficulties lie in getting good feedback from staff to be understood. Harder still is to make changes and getting everyone (lab staff, line managers, and management) to buy-in. The upside to this is that management is dedicated to making things better and it is mostly because of the break-neck growth.

Friendly and casual work environment. Hands-off management allows for self-management. Small departments foster inter-collaboration and a sense of belonging. Room for training in many methods, instead of narrowly focused.

Pros
I enjoy working for KBI because there is an excellent balance of work and life. KBI recognizes that happy employees who are supported in both personal and professional growth are loyal and productive. We operate as a team and support each other with motivation to improve and achieve together without competition with each other.
Cons
Not all sites operate the same and so the culture can be different between sites.
