Sequencing genome like AdTech can be just as mindless and soul-sucking. The internal politics of a pharma/academia is brutal because the average timeline of a drug from inception to market is about 15 years, lack of feedback leads people bickering over the least important things. Once you get past the initial rush of using the tools and understanding the theory of Bioinformatics, the work is eerily similar to data mining for marketing profiles and writing copies for unnecessary consumer products. People and work environment trumps what you actually do.
