Pros

ability to work from home during family emergencies, management is pretty hands off and not a lot of micro-managing, gym and cafeteria onsite, emergency daycare benefits,

Cons

shinking ship--upper management has implemented a lot of cost savings measures that have severely impacted employee morale. Lots of layoff and "voluntary" separations. Very cut throat culture. People rise to the top by throwing others under the bus, not a team culture. Performance reviews are a set up for failure; contract research is cyclical--you may be busy one month, and not so busy another month, in spite of this there is poor labor forecasting and some staff stay consistently overloaded with work, others without. If you're low on work, you must make strategic alliances with your team to secure new work--just a really tiring process.
