Pros

Generally really good work culture (obviously depends on management). You'll find many people have worked here 10+ years happily going on as there's always possibility to get in-house opportunities to switch departments depending on your interest if you'd like to explore something new. The community is quite close, there's plenty communal activities depending on the season. I've been really happy to work here.

Cons

As in most places, some managers and supervisors can have conflicting personalities (though I've found people mend and move on quickly). Some areas are chronically understaffed so workload gets pretty heavy, but the people working here make it manageable.

Pros

Not bad as pharma companies go. Relatively good job security. A lot of lovely, smart and hard working people. Benefits team are generally receptive and benefits have improved. Less likely to lay people off than other pharma/biotech.

Cons

Your experience is almost entirely dictated by your managers. Adherence to official policies is super variable. Site is relatively siloed from the rest of the company, top-heavy, and academic. Too many PhDs, not enough entry level development to support projects and execution. Sometimes a lack of clear leadership or direction and bizarre "old school" pharma opaque communication. Very limited, once yearly opportunities for promotion. Bizarre pay /compensation penalties for taking parental leave that saddles two different calendar years.
