      great pipeline, nice stock options including RSUs and purchase plan, CEO has grasp on future of the company and is a genuinely nice person

      Cons

      negative culture, inexperienced managers, VP of sales is from primary care and has convinced upper management that a1990s primary care like pod environment is a great idea for a biotech company

      Pros

      Benefits, work/life balance initiatives, internal movement to higher positions or new areas, bonus, great co-workers, ability to work at other sites - including International transfers to learn and grow at the company.

      Cons

      There are some bad managers and there is a lack from HR or upper management to address concerns brought up seriously and without retaliation from the manager, the stock program changed where there was no longer a real long term incentive to stay with the company.

      You can be loyal to the company, but the company will never be loyal to you....

      Pros

      -Intelligent, creative and friendly people. -Good benefits, decent salary, and BEER HOUR! -Nice cafeteria, nice gym, nice campus. -Stock is higher than it has ever been. -Promising pipeline.

      Cons

      -Very political. It's all about who you know no matter how hard you work. Promotions and fun projects are given to the popular kids, just like in high school. -Low morale due to the various layoffs. They do small department layoffs and they are secretive about it. -Many managers aren't managing anything or anybody. There are some dead bodies that could easily be replaced with ambitious and excited new employees. -Positions are created out of nowhere to please certain individuals looking for a higher title/pay. -Lots of office gossip. -Work/Life Balance? Yeah right! Expect to work nights and weekends whether you are in the labs or in an office job.
