Pros

Pay and Benefits were outstanding.

Cons

The acquisition by Novartis has significantly changed the culture. Given the typical challenges of a buy out, Novartis leadership may have forgotten they purchased people as well as products and margins.

Pros

Lots of free snacks. Some truly talented people work here.

Cons

DEI is still being implemented like it is 2020. They have changed the name to D&I but the principals are the same. Meritocracy is treated with suspicion.
