Pros

Exciting work, recognized name in the industry

Cons

Over the last year it has become hell working here. Insane micromanagement with hostile supervisors who look over your shoulder at your laptop screen every time they pass by. There are employee tracking systems in place that notify managers when you swipe your badge or connect to the wifi. Long hours with no extra pay, pressured into staying past contracted hours. Although company policy is that employees have to be in office 3 days a week some managers have taken it upon themselves to force employees to come in every day even though the work could be done on a laptop anywhere. Managers are aggressive, difficult and inept, and they refuse to address employee concerns. The worst part is that all of this trouble is hardly worth the miserly pay and lack of career opportunities.

Pros

Good pay and benefits, lots of pipeline molecules

Cons

Nimble initiatives just remove responsibilities from other groups and give them to other groups- lots of time is wasted on molecules that have not been properly evaluated
