Prós
Very friendly coworkers and great culture that encourages teamwork. Great work/life balance - working nights/weekends is unheard of. Good amount of freedom to focus on the projects you find interesting. Excellent management without any micromanagement or politics. This applies to the tech department - I can't speak to the quality of management elsewhere. Interesting subject matter - I learned a lot about various medical topics by osmosis during my time at CLD. 20 days PTO.
Contras
Poor compensation compared to the industry as a whole. No notable benefits beyond health/dental/401k. Sometimes difficult to get necessary resources - I had to ask repeatedly for a $250 expenditure on necessary tools to complete my job, to the point it became exhausting. Because it's a small firm with isolated responsibilities in each department, there is little to no room for career advancement.
