Pros

A great place to work with challenging R&D projects in many areas of ocular and otic diseases. Great benefits and campus facilities for both work and health/fitness activities.

Cons

Career advancement was hindered by departmental budget and structure. Technology advancement was hindered by annual capital budget allotment.
