Pros
-Great work hard/play hard culture -Fun environment with work out classes and free food/snacks -Due to skeleton staff model, a lot of opportunity to learn and grow is provided -Exciting science and development happening
Cons
-Benefits are not competitive for Biotech in the Bay Area, especially if you're not a member of senior management -No incentive to stay as stock options and LTI are only offered to senior level management -Abbvie doesn't pay merit based bonuses, only offers "cash profit sharing" (unless you're senior level management) -Stemcentrx senior management is great, but we're starting to transition more to the Abbvie model. If you like working for a big corporation, this could be good for you. If you came to Stem looking for small company culture, this is no longer the place to be.
