Pros

Lots of development opportunities, very competitive salaries, strong pipeline to set the future

Cons

Some senior leaders have been in the same position too long, giving them a disproportionate amount of influence and at times innovation can stagnate. "this is how we normally do things." The longer the person in role, the more opportunity or lack of for others.

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.
