      Not as fun as it used to be

      Pros

      Driven and disciplined organization doing great work to help patients with deadly or debilitating diseases. The motivation employees gleen from these patients is palpable. The level of intelligence among all departments is impressive. It is generally a place where you can act on your own ideas and see them through fruition. Strong performance is rewarded here better than most places I've seen or experienced.

      Cons

      The velocity at which this company operates can be tiresome and intimidating. There is little room for work/life balance. If you seek stabilty then this is the wrong palce for you. Change here is rapid and frequent. It is difficult at times to distinguish between whether someone is truly a strong performer or just a 'teacher's pet.'

      Pros

      People are experts and are knowledgeable about their fields. Benefits are ok.

      Cons

      Company is segregated and siloed. Employees are stretched too thin to affect change. There are too many individuals in upper management and not enough individuals at analyst level to do the actually daily work. Lower management is expected to do all lower level work plus the strategic planning. There's zero opportunity to influence executives.

      Pros

      Some of the smartest scientists in the business. Interesting opportunities still exist in some spaces.

      Cons

      Uncaring and incompetent executive team. Dishonest and shady HR. Been under constant threat of layoffs for almost 2 years.
