Pros

They try to embrace company values They have a great pipeline especially in Oncology They have a great CEO who is a high science genius and a really great VP of North America Great benefits for full time employees

Cons

They try to make you think they care about diversity in the workplace but they don't seem to live up to the hype. Many white male dominated departments and everyone turns a blind eye. They always have lay offs no matter what they tell you - when drugs go off patent have your resume ready to launch Some of the senior leaders there are not strong and not respected so if you wanted to move into other roles you had to consider who you would be working for The marketers are arrogant and unwilling to accept any ideas. They use vendors for EVERYTHING and only promote within their small circle Unless you want to live in Wilmington DE or Gaithersburg, MD there are not many opportunities in head quarters

Pros

Excellent salary and benefits Science-driven atmosphere Great people

Cons

Recent flattening of management structure was well-intentioned but greatly restricts development opportunities for early/mid-career scientists and forces many of the motivated and ambitious to move on (when it would be nice to retain them!)
