      A medical paradox: low regard to the individual, integrity and work quality. No place for a career.

      Pros

      Nice on-site gym Cafeteria at main building Lots of parking overall Silos of workers clearly identifiable across the company Offices are clean. Trash gets emptied every night

      Cons

      Downsizing has left major functional gaps where unqualified, good intending people have to wear multiple hats and the consequences of bad reviews. Poor on-boarding of new employees Nearly non-existent leadership, no accountability No clear objectives or direction causing chaos and conflict amongst silos. Difficult environment with ambiguity and political complexities. Management communication by PowerPoint No career opportunities for advancement due to fraternizing

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Flexible hours, good benefits, large number of knowledgable scientists. A lot of opportunities to work in the area most satisfying and fulfilling for the individual. Good (and improving) publication policy.

      Cons

      Bad intranet infrastructure (often it is easier to find relevant information outside e.g. using google, than inside) Often data are not easily accessible and hoarded. Middle level management not well qualified.
