Pros

Prestigious company; reputation. Exciting place to work surrounded by the some of the brightest and best. Super campus with extensive facilities and a lovely location. Feels good to be working in biotechnology. Future proof industry with good margins and very competitive pay and benefits.

Cons

Very aggressive work environment. Hyper-results orientated. High stress, high politics; Machiavellian work colleagues. Lots of processes and procedures but you are only successful if you are master in the dark arts.

Pros

- Nice benefits - Nice campus - Nice people

Cons

- Constantly downsizing / cutting costs - LOTS of contractors, who are clearly a lesser form of employee, just a big benefit dodge. - Higher levels / long time employees clearly have/make a ridiculous amount of money. - Currently converting to office of the future. Be aware if you don't like them.
