Pros

Decent benefits and compensation Good efforts made towards improving diversity Good colleagues… except they are leaving

Cons

Leadership is weirdly obsessed with in person work, even for a department that traditionally has a flexible schedule. No flexibility here even within teams. badge swipes are checked and you will get follow up if you arent on site. Despite the feedback here, employee meetings and ongoing resignations, there is no indication this will change. The rollout was sudden and nontransparent. In general, they’re trying to develop procedures and update tech to join the modern world, but its painfully slow and you’re expected to deliver results without knowing how and without tools beyond excel. It’s like working with the resources of a startup, but the red tape of a larger company. Many folks come from larger biotech and share the same frustration of how things are done, but it only leads to incremental progress. If you don't mind coming into the office and dealing with preventable emergencies day in and day out, this is a decent place to work.

Stocks can appreciate over time

Cons

Pathetic and alcoholic sales leadership team coupled with an incompetent HR group to match. Unhappy , spineless managers will do and tolerate anything.
