Sr scientist - Anonymous employee Targacept Employee Review

Wonderful environment, benefits, pay, time off!

unstable biopharmaceutical industry with unpredictable clinical trial outcomes

In a science-based industry, individuals who are scientific experts and leaders are not necessarily meant to be placed in management roles. The skill set is very different, and ineffective managers create many personnel issues.
