Pros

Excellent facilities, good location and environment. Most people trying to do their best and produce some good science despite current state of change.

Cons

The company has changed radically over the last six years or so. Lost focus on science and doing the difficult. Now a factory mentality with people taking fewer risks - this is not how science works! Rewards short-term thinking. Not a place for anyone who doesn't stay in line.

Pros

Flexible working, salaries are good, if working in the right areas there's an excellent team dynamic. People are amazingly friendly despite all that's going on.

Cons

A company amongst the midst of massive changes worldwide. Feathers are ruffled, people are unhappy. The company needs to look at employees who do a fair bulk of the hard work and learn how to value them. Little to no value on PA's, despite the hours and work they have done, and continue to do despite being told there is no future for them at the company as they won't relocate them. Could benefit with a clear out of the dead wood now and not wait for natural waste to occur. They also need to make up their minds about the relocation, which is now accelerated to next summer, not summer 2015/2016, and have a little respect towards those they know they don't want to take.
