Pros

As the title says, the people there are fantastic. The company itself focuses a lot on making sure their employees are happy whether it is having fitness fairs, cheap gym membership, health food fairs, summer hours (where you work an extra hour M-Th and then get to take a half day on Friday), etc. The culture is young and dynamic. Overall a wonderful place to work.

Cons

They tend to hire mainly contract workers instead of full time workers, and transitioning from contract to regular employee takes a lot of diligence and only happens rarely. Summer hours also do not apply to some departments such as Process Development.
