Pros

hard working people, beautiful campus, nice perks/benefits

Cons

If you look around, the company is littered with people far more concerned with their career advancement than doing whats best for the company. There is a tense culture. Too much politics and posturing. People seem more concerned with appearing busy and important than actually improving the company. Strange left wing policies at times that they throw in your face -- clearly makes half the employees uncomfortable and is a strange practice.

Pros

Great benefits. Innovator company. Founded on innovative science. Patient focused. Ethical.

Cons

Local site leadership has become toxic in places, lots of staff turnover. The RTP site used to be a high trust environment and had leaders that cared about employees and innovation. Good people are being run off leaving it with folks that are only looking to preserve their own careers. Sad.
