Pros

Great work-life balance, decent pay, still retains a few vestiges of its former biotech glory

Cons

The Big Pharma Borg is slowly but surely assimilating us into its "Boston Hub", and despite all reassurances that they wanted to preserve the "Genzyme Culture" of innovation, blah-blah-blah, it's proven to be impossible. Maybe they really meant what they said, and just can't help themselves, maybe not. But the sad truth is that we're now part of a massive bureaucracy, and every Dilbert- or Kafkaesque nightmare you've heard about such ponderous beasts is proving remarkably accurate. We will eventually drown in the mire of dysfunctional process management, and the question we all face is to accept this and collect the paycheck, or move on to a more nimble, albeit riskier prospect that satisfies the needs of the entrepreneur. It's a tough choice.

Pros

Lots of growth opportunities, fabulous team, my mgr was great

Cons

Shockingly disorganized (3 rounds of leadership restructuring in 8 months, lack of centralized training resources), bro culture that both tolerates gender based harassment and favoritism that is at time gender based.
