Pluspunten

good pay, very competent management and important projects to work on

Minpunten

living in NJ is hard on a medium-low salary, especially if you want to get married and buy a house and still expect to pay off student loans and not accumulate more debt. Plus, and this is true for the physical sciences in general, there is very little opportunity for career advancement with only an MS. No matter how competent you are or hard you work you will never lead your own project or be promoted off the bench - at least not at a large corporation.

Pluspunten

Over my tenure, I had the opportunity to work alongside highly talented and mission-driven colleagues dedicated to improving patient outcomes. The organization provided exposure to cross-functional collaboration, leadership development opportunities, and meaningful work supporting healthcare providers, patients, and community stakeholders. I appreciated the company's commitment to innovation, professional growth, and serving patients through scientific advancement.

Minpunten

Like many large organizations, priorities and organizational structures evolved over time, which occasionally created uncertainty and changes in responsibilities. Decision-making processes could sometimes be complex due to the size of the organization, and navigating multiple layers of stakeholders occasionally impacted speed and execution.
