      Pros

      Work-life balance is good; even your manager doesn't think he will have a job in the next year, so no one expects you to give "your all"; just put in your required time and then get the heck off of the computer.

      Cons

      Giving anything extra is looked upon in a negative way, as you are seen as an idiot if you do.

      Potential to return to greatness with the approval of a breakthrough cancer therapy later this year.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Some very bright people still remain, although many excellent people have left. Vacation policy is generous.

      Cons

      Constant layoffs, and too much focus on financial results, and not enough on the patient. Employee morale is low. Senior management, with the exception of the Research division president, is poor. Raises are sub-inflation on average. Bonuses lower this year than in any year in recent memory.
