Pros

Good salary and benefits People are generally collegial and good to work with (some bad apples like anywhere)

Cons

Corporate culture with plenty of bureaucracy depending on your role. Recently getting rid of remote roles and requiring in-person for non-lab roles where teams and collaborators are anyways geographically dispersed seems like the wrong move in a tech enabled world.

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.
