Business Outlook

Pros

- great 401k match - generous vacation/sick time - good facilities and state of the art equipment - some of the best and brightest scientists in the industry to learn from - solid pipeline and innovative science

Cons

- like many other reviews have said, promotions are very political and hard to come by - poor behavioral conduct among employees isn't reprimanded - have been met with incessant discrimination from multiple people in leadership positions--unfortunately, these aren't isolated incidences and have occurred with other female and foreign colleagues in my department
