Pluspunten

Lots of training/learning opportunities (rotation program is awesome), especailly for new grads. You can easily find experts in that field if you want to learn things. Colleagues are in general nice and helpful. Competitive compensation, pension plan (rare in the industry nowadays), educational assistance (only $5250/year though), paid paternity leave (dads as well), flexible working hours etc.

Minpunten

Culture going downhill quickly. Science used to the top priority but not anymore. A lot of managers are scientifically mediocre while senior/experienced scientists have no direct report. Can you believe R&D directors only hold a bachelor degree? Career opportunities are fairly limited.

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.
