Pros

Technically Challenging Great co workers.

Cons

Senior Leadership did not care about the workers only their own personal career advancement and EOY bonus. The new and recent Senior Management has destroyed the culture that was built over the years.

Pros

great coworkers, decent pay, nice bonuses.

Cons

No clear focus on restructuring. Clueless upper management. In the name of cost savings people in critical roles with extensive historical knowledge and carrying the workload of 2-3 people were let go while newbies with no work ethic remain. Scientists and Med Directors are now expected to handle the business end while working on new targets. #SAD

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.
