Pros

Good salary and competent co-workers. I was given necessary freedom to make my team successful.

Cons

Decision making processes were cumbersome. People could make decisions, but too much emphasis on "global alignment" for minor decisions.

Pros

Benefits, established Biotech company with leading edge research and development organization. Strong culture in the past for ensuring Quality.

Cons

Impact of layoffs means company is losing some of its historical knowledge-base and significant impact to moral throughout the organization.Almost total focus on the bottom line and return to shareholders, no longer on patient-first and do the right thing. Very risk-adverse.
