I'm looking to move from large pharma to a smaller, more nimble company. What small biotech/pharma firms are good to work for? I'm especially interested in organizations with employee-centered culture, strong WLB, and commitment to scientific innovation.

Where do you live? And what do you consider smaller? Start up biotech or mid size maybe 500-1000 employees?

Generally WLB is worse in small biotech, no? I really like my biotech but there is definitely a higher expectation of efficiency than I have seen at Big Pharmas

I’m interested in the same move.
Have been in R&D Quality roles for close to 20 years and have thought it’d be great to find an expanded role in a small to mid-size that uses more of my capabilities in tandem. Very difficult to find that sort of position in big pharma, but I’ve also received feedback that small companies are turned off by big pharma candidates.
