Pros

The company is new and motivated to be successful and open to hearing about new opportunities and ideas. The company draws from a long history of drug development while part of Abbott. Interesting mix of heritage and desire to prove itself.

Cons

While they are aspiring to a biopharma culture - changing a culture is not easy. They should bring in external biotech talent into key positions to help catalyze change.

Pros

Not bad as pharma companies go. Relatively good job security. A lot of lovely, smart and hard working people. Benefits team are generally receptive and benefits have improved. Less likely to lay people off than other pharma/biotech.

Cons

Your experience is almost entirely dictated by your managers. Adherence to official policies is super variable. Site is relatively siloed from the rest of the company, top-heavy, and academic. Too many PhDs, not enough entry level development to support projects and execution. Sometimes a lack of clear leadership or direction and bizarre "old school" pharma opaque communication. Very limited, once yearly opportunities for promotion. Bizarre pay /compensation penalties for taking parental leave that saddles two different calendar years.
