Pros

Good coworkers, but just like anywhere else there are a few bad eggs.

Cons

Pay is not great considering what tasks are expected. Management acts like management, only in favor of the company, not you. Everybody is always stressed.

Pros

Great group and environment. I absolutely love my job. Insurance benefits are quite good.

Cons

Bad pay which can make it hard to stay. Surrounding areas have an extremely high cost of living and the salary does not match this.

Pros

(Ewing, NJ) Lots of career growth opportunities / great learning experience, sometimes they cater lunch and/or do lunch&learns, pay is decent for a CRO. Coworkers are amazing and literally will drop anything to help any other scientist or support staff whenever possible, smaller team/easier to know everyone.

Cons

(Ewing, NJ) Management, upper management specifically. Stop micromanaging. This site seems to be intentionally burning out their staff while continually taking on projects that they dont have the work force to complete. The culture is sickly, every day you walk in to find out what new fresh hell there is, new rule? urgent timeline with 0 prior notice? maybe frequent impromptu meetings where you have to explain over and over (again) that you have, in fact, ran an assay before. The training program is basically nonexistent, they just strap you to a bogged down scientist and wait until you ask enough questions to know the job. HR is also very unprofessional. Absolutely no training program, they pretty much hook you up to a completely bogged down scientist and they pretty much just walk you through what they do.
