Great place to start your career

This company is a great place to start your career if you are interested in biotech. However, if you are interested in long term growth you may have to find another company that can provide new and challenging opportunities.

Secure facility
Protocol Writer (Former Employee), Greenfield, IN –
Pros: benefits
Cons: managed poorly
Typical work day began at 6 a.m., it required a lot of attention to details. I did learn but was eager to learn more, the company did not like that. To be successful at Covance you must be a yes man.

Challenging and Diverse Workplace
Research Assistant I (Current Employee), Battle Creek, MI –
The experience with the company is extremely diverse, depending on what department/area that you work in. A good company to work for if you are in the right role. If you are in NCFS, look to move out.
