Pros

Excellent benefits, wonderful people, many scientific resources available to employees, work-life balance is ok bordering on good.

Cons

HR department seems to not really connect with the employees. Career development seems to take a back seat and overall communication from upper management was not well thought out/ bordering on poor.
