Pros
Working at KBI, I was challenged every day. The work was fast paced and I grew a lot.
Cons
Sometimes the work load was overwhelming, and some management doesn't understand that 50-6 0 hour work weeks shouldn't be expected.

Pros
As others have said KBI is a great place to gain experience while looking for a new job. Do you time while switching careers and then leave.
Cons
You'll be overworked and be set up for failure. Training is minimal and you'll be yelled at when you make a mistake. Essentially you'll be a pair of hands to management. You won't have the opportunity to gain confidence and reach new heights. No one is planning ahead to make things better. If you do make a suggestion to make the company better you'll be put down and ignored.

"Awful culture, no development"

Doesn't RecommendNegative OutlookDisapproves of CEOI have been working at KBI Biopharma full-time for more than 3 years
Pros
Pay can be higher than average depending on hiring manager and timing
Cons
Awful culture leading to unclear outcomes, unethical handling of client material, and poor work-life balance. High turnover without any training plans means new hires are stuck hoping things are slow enough to learn while being shoved into situations they've had no preparation for. Promotion ceiling without a PhD comes up quick. Outside experience is valued above internal experience. PTO offered isn't worth anything if schedules leave no time to take it.

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookNo Opinion of CEOI worked at KBI Biopharma full-time for more than 5 years
Pros
You are over paid which only makes it more difficult to leave
Cons
Lack of understanding of any industry regulations and even greater lack of desire to follow them. Decision makers couldn’t spell “CFR” if you spotted them the “C” and the “F”. That is exactly what this place is. A huge CF! Facility is unfit for use and it is a daily occurrence to see raw materials stored in hallways and left outside on loading dock. Work space is over crowded with several individuals crammed into every closet and corner of the building. Employees are forced to park in grass, dirt and gravel as the parking is inadequate for the facility. The facility is maintained on a shoestring budget and it shows.
