      Pros

      a very good location, smart academic scientists

      Cons

      little culture, very academic environment (in many bad ways), little advancement opportunities, days of talking that drives anyone mad, no plan for success, very menial uninteresting work (they will treat you as a cashier in the store or a monkey slave technician) and a very shiny banner, you will feel relieved flushing it down. If you don't like it, apparently you need to pay them to leave.

      Pros

      Great cafeteria, benefits, low workload.

      Cons

      Management is clueless about how drugs discovery works, forget applying AI to it. Most scientists have no idea what to do beyond surviving the quarter and their current manager. Proof? 7 years after founding, they barely have a pipeline, nothing in the clinic and "one" target discovered for ALS. One target after raising 800 million. Nepotism is rampant. You will see 30 y/o "associate directors" with no direct reports or management experience. AI/ML and biology work in complete silos. Good place if you want to just coast and take a pay-cheque. Bad place if you are serious about your career.
