Pros

There is always new equipment to learn. There is usually money to do all experiments without worry. Since it was a big campus there was usually someone who could lend you ingredients. My colleagues were very smart and would teach what they knew. Generous layoff package, but lots of money wasted when items could have been sent to people who would need them.

Cons

Stress. There was stress about layoffs, little understanding on experiment planning and length from Management. Many perks were stopped at satellite sites, but not at the Mother-ship. The decision making process what shielded from the average employee. Gossip was rampant.

Pros

Excellent compensation, benefits, and career development opportunities. Strong investment in innovation, patient-focused mission, and world-class manufacturing capabilities. The New Albany site offers exposure to complex biologics operations, large-scale capital projects, and opportunities to work alongside talented and dedicated professionals committed to delivering medicines to patients.

Cons

The culture and leadership experience became increasingly inconsistent during the last year. Decision-making often lacked transparency, priorities shifted frequently, and employee feedback did not always appear to be valued. The people-centered culture that attracted many long-tenured employees seemed to drift, resulting in reduced trust, lower engagement, and increased organizational uncertainty.
