Business Outlook

Pros

Incredible training environment; great people; great science; great team culture

Cons

Constant yearly reorganizations create a toxic environment where many employees are under constant worry of losing their jobs which affects productivity. Attrition of experienced and highly effective scientists over the last number of years will impact overall effectiveness/success of the company. The stock price/performance has been embarrassing relative to many peers.

Was pretty good, until they axed our whole department

Business Outlook

Pros

Very smart colleagues, rigorous atmosphere, decent access to resources, no more red tape than your average mega-corp.

Cons

Lots of layoffs, all the time. It becomes very difficult to avoid cynicism when all the happy-talk from Bourla on down about how valued you are, how vital your mission, how very life-changing to patients it all is when counterbalanced by the experience of rolling layoffs and abandonment of entire therapeutic areas. If you're fortunate, you can last a long time and make a good living. But make no mistake: Your number may come up a lot sooner than you anticipate, and when it does, it's all cold, hard business. Don't get attached, and keep your resume fresh.
