Pros

The pay is alright. The extra advantages are a nice bonus. Easy reachable. They try to maintain a good work-life balance.

Cons

Very results orientated. Sometimes the human aspect can get a bit lost. Since the acquisition by Novartis at lot more rules have been added.

Pros

Decent pay, great work/life balance, newest management focuses on personal and career development

Cons

Not the most stimulating day-to-day. Iterative and cautious. Likely being set up to be sold in the next year or two

Pros

Great people to work with, good in nuturing its people especially for freshgrads.

Cons

Lots of last minute planning and high turn over rate of its people. Should be more people focus and give its people more opportunities for internal promotion.
