Pros

Compensation, benefits, and perks are great.

Cons

Management made poor business decisions the past 8 years or so, and it appears it continues to do so (even 2 years after I left). Group/department work environment was great but overall site (inter-departmental) politics is horrible. Own pipeline is thin. Overly dependent on potential drug candidates being developed by small external discovery labs.

Pros

Excellent compensation packages with good 401k match, health benefits, bonus percentage and vacation. Excellent colleagues and talented teams.

Cons

Acquisition of Monsanto and its legal battles have hurt the company finances and sunk the stock value significantly. Due to struggling cash flows, they have been laying off talented & senior employees every year and the teams are losing talent and experienced leadership.
