Pros

Good benefits. Good 401k match. Pay is decent. Certain groups have strong culture but hard to find and get in.

Cons

RTO has impacted the company. People forced to come back or let go. People who are allowed to stay remote have no ability to get a new job. Even outside of remote, general ability to advance or even get new job is limited internally. You tend to be stuck unless you have someone championing you from the VP level. Merit driven culture is not that common, they have a lot of people who have been there for far too long who expect everyone else to have the same career experience as them when reality is, things have changed as they always do each generation. Old guard will make your life miserable so be prepared for that

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.
