Pros

Being in the pharmaceutical industry and tech areas, salaries are very competitive. The goals are challenging but there are a lot of opportunities for learning continuously.

Cons

Lack of experienced leadership in some areas, and no clear ways to go forward in your career if you're a very junior employee as a very independent way of working is advised (or is this a pro?).

Pros

Largest biopharma in the area. Benefits are good for a company this size: 6% 401k match, 15 vacation, 3 floating holidays and Christmas shutdown. Medical insurance options are good too.

Cons

Culture has changed for the worst since the Medimmune consolidation.

Lots of opportunities

Pros

Good benefits, great target bonuses and multipliers, great sciences with a rich pipeline, building in epigenetics, haems, intractables, etc. Plenty of growth opportunities for the top performers willing to put in the work. Reviews are fair and really reflect individual contributions.

Cons

Sometimes unclear how to achieve promotions or opportunities depending on manager, can feel like there are too many projects to support with the headcount, too many tier 1 projects make prioritization difficult. As with most companies, too many people are made line managers just so they can receive a promotion, but they have no desire for or skill at management. This leaves lots of employees adrift while the ones lucky enough to have a good manager thrive.
