Pros

Culture keeps you happy. Great coworkers. Great benefits. Lots of opportunities to establish yourself. Excellent work/life balance. Great social hour. Flexible attitude.

Cons

Too much beaurocracy. May be hard to advance in some departments. Previous management should get most of the credit for current success of drugs. Buildings are pretty but was it necessary since we are keeping Weston? Upper management has lost touch with the common employees even though you are now located in Cambridge. Too many large and single layoffs, leaves us feeling insecure.

Pros

A very educational learning experience. I loved working here & would gladly go back agai Great training provided; my manager was fantastic & taught me so much about the industry. Very efficient company specific software that aids tremendously in being successful at the job.

Cons

Team spirit at the company wasn't that great. I also felt there was a good group of unfriendly people, primarily upper management, who could be a bit drab on the office environment.
