Pros

I liked my position. I was able to shadow other departments for training. Coworkers were very accommodating. Teamwork was essential to complete many tasks.

Cons

Micromanagement in many high-level areas. Management can be very condescending at times. Your success was independent upon the management team in which worked. Heavy workloads due to unbalanced work assignments on associates. If you speak up, you will ignored or your workload may increase to a level that may you decide to leave. Turnover was beginning to increase.

Pros

Good drugs but very risky strategy as no one has car urge Alzheimer's puzzle yet. Lots of smart scientists so if someone is going to do it, Biogen might be the one.

Cons

Uber political environment where what you know or can do is not nearly as important as who you know or where you are in the org.
