Pros

Wide variety of research oppurtunties for scientists in diverse interesting areas where you can build your expertise. Some good benefits some amazingly talented colleagues. Good work life balance and support for flexible working.

Cons

Poor senior management which struggled to articulate strategy beyond sound bites and that seem to have swallowed the MBA management school dictionary. What used to make this company great were its incredible old school scientists. Odd ball quirky genuises who were allowed to own their own work. Now most of these are either sadly retired, ignored, sidelined, or worse made redundent.

Pros

If you are lazy, this is the place for you

Cons

If you are somewhat competent, don’t worry, management doesn’t care. Employees are part of their politics game. From orders delay to customer complaints, management’s resolutions are to put in more tedious complicated system and lay off actual workers. Constant restructuring every 6 months with no idea what they want. Base pay is below average. Not sure why investors are still investing and why customers are still buying. I would give 0 star if I can.
