Pros

- 401K (10% immediate vesting) and stock options if eligible

Cons

- Political company nature - Spine-less management who can't own their mistakes - This place is full of dead-wood ( old people unwilling to change and just want to do the same worng thing without thinking twice as they have to run their house) - Its funny and a joke that they hotlines and etc. and they cant take a step against their managers - It is just a horrible place to work and yes you can say I am a disgruntled worker .. but you know what that is the truth of this company - Me being a woman, I must say that the woman at the top at this company does not even know a damn about pharma and its data .. when you correct them they tell that they are politically connected at the top and can do anything against you - It is not a company that you should ever consider in your career .. Period -

Pros

Decent pay at one time. Good weather. 401(k) match. PTO and shutdowns.

Cons

Incompetent management, people are completely miserable since 2014 layoffs. Benefits and comp constantly being slashed. No more RSUs or stock grants. Weak bonuses and salary freezes. Work keeps piling on but pay being cut. HORRIBLE health insurance. $300 month + $1500 family deductible and 20% co-insurance after that.
