Pros

Scientfic rigor and due dilligence are apparent from day one. Plenty of opportunity for personal development, high level of project ownership.

Cons

No opportunities to climb, senior management dances around every issue, unwilling to admit companies shortcomings and won't give you real information but will dance around everything. No focus in pipeline development. Executives cannot make decisions. The very worst part is that the company makes it very clear "We don't care about you"

Pros

Will provide a paycheck, benefits (although not as good as they used to be), and experience in the industry.

Cons

No direction on where the company is going as a whole or within R&D. There is no personal growth due to financial restrictions in the company. As layoffs continue more work gets shuffled to those who remain and are already overworked. Morale is low.
