Pros

You might end up learning a lot of things, but even that is a result of work being dumped on you, as you have no other option.

Cons

This company will destroy your mental health and your physical health. It will also make sure that you have got no life outside of work. They will assign you so much work that burnout would be the only possible outcome, which explains the extremely high turnover rate here. There are people leaving and being hired pretty much every week. All they care about is their nasty, unrealistic, inhumane deadlines that are impossible to accomplish unless you give your whole life and soul to the job. There is no training about the actual work either, and you're supposed to figure everything out on your own, while still meeting the weekly deadlines, all amidst a disorganized workplace.

Pros

Fast paced company trying to do something very challenging. Great place to learn and grow, but you must be self-driven and ok with rapidly changing dynamics.

Cons

Timelines are always too aggressive and never get hit. Demoralizing for the team.

Pros

For first time employment it’s a good start. The work experience can take you a long way professionally. This company also won’t fire employees outside of normal layoffs phases or serious violations of company policies (illegal actions).

Cons

TLDR: toxic environment/classism/racism/deceptive benefits This place is a good place to learn but not grow. Once you’ve learned what others deem as enough your position responsibilities will grow to compensate managers and scientists failing to meet expectations. Management expects direct reports to not challenge wrongful practices and discourages employee empowerment (or basic rights). There were also some racism issues making professional development challenging for POCs. A lot of employees don’t say anything because of retaliation and the state of the economy allow these issues to run unchecked. Benefits are bare bones and leave medical providers speechless. There are a couple kind benefits but management and HR take issue to researching and asking about benefits. Expectations also include working long after working hours, lowest level employees being held responsible for management failures, working through injury, working through any time off not PTO, working while sick, having to take inperson meetings with sick managers, flexible working schedules being used against employees, and finally the biggest expectation is to be friendly with management and report wrongdoings of other employees be it wasting time or questioning management practices.
