Pros

the benefits - health is out of this world, the gym, the 401k

Cons

it's really a "you and your luck" situation regarding advancement - if you get stuck behind a poor manager, you are really in trouble. there tends to be less competence in the technology side of the house than the biology side

Pros

Work from home flexibility and the summer and winter shutdown periods are a nice benefit. Good health insurance.

Cons

Management style can be controlling and micromanaging with expectations that shift without clear communication. Employees are held to high standards but not always given the support or clarity needed to meet them. Performance concerns are documented quickly without full context being considered. Culture does not match the company’s public image.
