Pros

They offer 401K and insurance. There's always fresh coffee and snacks around. You usually don't find yourself angry all by yourself.

Cons

Tergus Pharma is NOT a good place to work at. Being a member of the Tergus family means that you’re underpaid and overworked. That is, unless you happen to have a Ph.D. In that case, your life is great because the CEO absolutely loves Ph.D.s, even if they have no idea what they’re doing and are filling a role they are completely unqualified for. Think that’s an exaggeration by a former bitter employee? Every one of the managers at Tergus quit within a three month period. That’s four managers. FOUR. But that’s not surprising: it seems like whenever they get a new hire, that person comes in ready to make a difference and fix everything that’s broken. But so much is broken, and they get worn out so fast that within a month they can barely do anything beyond their basic job function (if that!). The turnover is incredibly high, and let’s face it, the quality of analytical force in the company is quite low. People have so little understanding of what they do and what they’re supposed to do that Tergus managers actually organized a course to teach people about how they should perform their most basic job functions! The only constant seems to be the employees who depend on the company for their work visas. The entire company is a mess. Only accept a job there if you’re desperate, but no one will judge you when you leave within less than six months (which seems to be a good rule of thumb for when employees leave).
