Pros

Good vacation and 401K match Good work-life balance Knowledgeable and helpful colleagues

Cons

Bad base salary compared to other big Pharma/Biotech. Very low annual salary growth Dwindling pipeline. Company is trying to improve pipeline through acquisitions. Employees of acquired companies are not treated properly leading to high turn-over. Work environment depends on the culture of the upper management. Minorities, specially women of color with advanced degrees and strong personalities are treated poorly. If you are not from top schools, famous labs, alumna of upper management or students of their collaborators, don't expect to be given good projects. You will languish in the same rank for several years. It's a boy's club. Men with less knowledge and experience are provided better growth opportunities.

Pros

The company has an excellent, very collegial atmosphere. Employees are supported well and there is excellent support for most processes from numerous line functions.

Cons

Some processes as well as the governance structure can be a bit confusing. More so than other large pharma companies. But even with this. There are almost always enough people who know how to get things done.
