Pros

Nothing to say here. Move on.

Cons

One of the most toxic companies to work for. Their review team acts like they created the product. Inefficient use of resources. People can’t use basic technologies like Veeva and get paid 6 figures. Would rather work at the McDonald’s around the corner than here.
