Pros

Great work/life balance. Colleagues are friendly and it's a very collaborative environment.

Cons

Consulting company's presence is a huge red flag, no matter how upper management tries to spin it. People are nervous and "process improvement" is fancy talk for "lay offs." I'd be careful accepting an offer from Biogen until things settle.
