Pros

Very nice people and regular employees do not seem to be over worked as happens at other Pharma companies. Super nice folks.

Contingent workers can put in longer hours. Managers don't seem have a good sense of how long it takes to manage tasks and expect faster turnarounds and employees to have spare time to take on other projects. There is also some immaturity in dealing with people (talking behind people's backs and that kind of thing) but overall the professional environment is great. It's a really good place to work but like all companies has it's warts.
