Pros

Cannot think of any pro's

They are in the middle of nowhere, no work from home policy, very poor management with absolutely no leadership ability, less than industry standard pay, definitely not up to speed with the other leading biotechs.

Sumitomo Pharma Response

We are sorry you did not have a good experience while working at Sunovion. We are always looking for feedback to improve the working environment. Many employees feel our location is a huge benefit so that they do not have to deal with traffic in Boston & Cambridge. We also have feedback that our pay is very competitive along with our great benefits package. Starting in October, we will be rolling out a work from home policy for our employees. Thank you again for your feedback and good luck in future career.
