Vantaggi
Some pleasant people. Work is easy, if that's your bag. Facility is nice now that the most gaudy of the "artwork" has been removed.
Svantaggi
Young people swayed by CM billing itself as "biotech": you won't learn anything of value here. You'll be paid little, treated like a child, and perform very routine tasks that amount to moving fluid from point A to B. Data is interpreted by someone else. You are a thumb to operate a pipettor. Management is pretty horrid - lots of blame games, inter-company feuding over nothing. Pettiness. Lack of drive - CM's main products are super-simple to manufacture, and have a ridiculous margin, so management is complacent to let crappy practices continue, and not worry much about the quality system to which they only play lip-service - this is demoralizing as it forces one to do things in a way they know makes no sense/is silly, because it's the "CM Way", and change is scary. HR is a major cog in the rumor mill and is fairly adversarial.
