      Pros

      Good benefits, but that about it.

      Cons

      Weak management, definitely on the decline and looking hard to save money wherever they can. No pride in the work, just a paycheck mentality.

      Pros

      the benefits package is nice, but the base salary is POOR compared to other companies.

      Cons

      Poor, weak & incompetent management right the way through. Undervalue and Overwork staff until they burn out. Huge competition between US and UK sites, leading to political situations which more often than not end up in doubled workload for the actual people in the lab. Horrific appraisal system, which is overhauled almost every year to no avail. All managers are strongly encouraged to give their staff a rating of 3 (on a scale of 1-5) which causes uproar at time of remuneration as practically everyone is worked to the bone and pushing themselves to the absolute limit. A lot of people are looking to move to other companies, many people are unhappy, extremely low morale in the Cambridge site.

      Pros

      Coworkers are smart, hard working, and friendly. Employees have many opportunities to work with people from outside their department.

      Cons

      Management does not care/ acknowledge good quality work. Only get involved when things go wrong. Employees are underpaid and overworked.
