      Pros

      The quality of the people who work there - caring, skilled, and highly competent Competitive compensation packages Working on innovative and novel therapeutic areas Great reputation within the industry

      Cons

      There is little commitment to good leadership on the part of senior leaders, and so leadership isn't valued much. It gets lip service but few resources committed to developing leaders, holding them accountable for good leadership, and creating a strong incentive to stay at the company. There is more of an attitude of buying talent than developing from within. This is why it's a great place to come and learn a role or function, but then leave for opportunities elsewhere. Senior leadership is consistently rated low in engagement scores.

      Pros

      On site Starbucks, decent pay

      Cons

      After allowing people to WFH for the pandemic there is a big forceful push to bring people back in the office. However, there are not enough desks and the place is filthy. No one has presented a good reason for coming in the office other than to micromanage the already stressed out employees. Work/Life balance is slowly being phased out. Career growth is a joke and subjective. If you are great at being a brown-nose, you'll go far. Don't challenge authority even when they are wrong. They don't like it and you'll never get promoted. Be careful of all the carrots that are dangled to make you stay. As soon you spot the first lie - leave!
