Pros

Growing very fast and quickly

Cons

Too much confusions within management and no clear vision. Company advertises being global but very very German centric and you need to learn the language to grow

Pros

People here genuinely want to do the right thing and come up with new therapies for patients. The company does want to do what is right for its employees as changes are ongoing. Site leadership tends to try and shield the employees from the chaos at the global level and senior leadership, and there is good experience present at the lower levels of the company.

Cons

Senior leadership is very inexperienced, especially when it comes to making decisions, and sticking with them. Priorities are constantly changing and it can be infuriating at times, especially when the same team members are working on the different projects at the same time with the same priorities. Some days it feels like management is a a dog chasing cars, and does not know what to do when it finally catches one. There used to be a great culture at sites in the US. The company has underwent multiple layoffs and site closures over the past year, so the culture here has been negatively affected by the constant barrage of negative news and constant changes. There is a concerted effort to prioritize the activities at the company for the future, but we will be going through a lot of growing pains as the company reorganizes. Ultimately there is a bright future in store.
