Vantaggi
Shift from academic environment into commercial provides unique environment. Balance of start-up excitement with 25 year old established company - this provides a great, team focussed working environment. Open to process change. You are given the opportunity to 'own' projects which gives you the platform for personal growth if you're happy to drive it and take responsibility. C-Suite leadership. The Sampled exec team have nearly 200 years experience in life sciences and healthcare across techical, commercial, legal, finance, HR, IT etc. This is unparralelled compared to some competitors where the exec teams are all from different industries. Postive world impact. Knowing that we are making a positive impact across the industry bring me a great deal of pride. From getting clinical trials back on track to enabling researchers to discover biomarkers as part of huge studies, we work across a huge range of therapeutic areas. This is a shared value across the team.
Svantaggi
Organizational change. This can be a challenge for those who are not suited to change, that said there is a lot of support available for those who can struggle to adapt to process improvements. Fast paced. Despite being around for 25 years, the team has been shifting into a more commercial focus for the last couple of years. So the company is not just experiencing growth in terms of business, but on a process level to ensure we have continue to maintain a stable business. Personally I enjoy both of these dynamics as they force me to be resourceful and supports my own personal development.
