Pros

Good benefits, overall pay is not bad in the area

Cons

VERY political; beware of saying truth about science; little to no opportunities for Phds from outside to advance; you are only tool to generate data; 80% of Phds from outside left the department where I was; the management profile people from other industries; beware!!!

Pros

I learned a lot while working this job. The systems like Veeva and Workfront were difficult to learn at first, but once I got the hang of them it was great. There were a lot of great people working around me that wanted to see me succeed.

Cons

Working as a contract worker had it's cons. At times, it felt like I was a little bit of an afterthought in the company with some superiors because I was not a full time employee. Communication suffered at times as well.
