Pros

Benefit and salary are good. Free coffee

Cons

There Is no work/Life balance and the worst thing Is that Is Always yor fault. Managers are pointing fingers to team members to find an excuse to their poor management. The result Is a High turnover. My suggestioni for HR Is to listen tò the people to see what Is happening.

Pros

The quality of the people who work there - caring, skilled, and highly competent Competitive compensation packages Working on innovative and novel therapeutic areas Great reputation within the industry

Cons

There is little commitment to good leadership on the part of senior leaders, and so leadership isn't valued much. It gets lip service but few resources committed to developing leaders, holding them accountable for good leadership, and creating a strong incentive to stay at the company. There is more of an attitude of buying talent than developing from within. This is why it's a great place to come and learn a role or function, but then leave for opportunities elsewhere. Senior leadership is consistently rated low in engagement scores.
