Pros

Solid company and benefits. Good moral compass and eye for social/societal issues. Good picture science. On a granular mid-management level, there are challenges.

Cons

After a while, growth prospects get thin and you are forced to carve/force a path for growth - due to the sensitivities of others. Some departmental functions do not allow enough opportunities for Scientific growth, specifically in leadership spaces for younger emerging Scientists.

Pros

Snacks and campus. Good for naive fresh faces and complacent professionals.

Cons

Too many to list. Read all the highly rated reviews here (they’re mostly negative and true.) Company recently started employing PR services on here and bringing outsiders across the country to address slipping reputation.
