Pros

Nice building. Good work environment. Good benefits. OK salary.

Cons

Notoriously slow and difficult to get promoted. The Waltham site is on the edge of an active volcano. Although it has been gone through a series of reduction, the worst has not come, yet. Brilliant scientists are leaving the company.

Pros

Great company with great products and are very well known within the medical community.

Cons

Leadership gets very scared from low numbers. There is hammer down approach when things aren't going good and they have a hard time leading their way out of the hard times without hiring people.
