Pros

Free snacks, and their IT team was surprisingly great. Probably okay place to work if you are just starting out and need experience.

Cons

- Lab safety is almost non-existent. - Their HR team is horribly vindictive. I've worked from startups to many large companies and I've never been treated like a potential criminal before. I tried to give my 2 weeks notice and they shortened it to several days. I didn't have time to close out my projects or transfer work. -Parental leave policy is disturbingly inadequate and their HR refuses to address that -Location is not great, no good food options close by and traffic is horrible to matter where you are coming from

Pros

Competitive compensation, good benefits, talented colleagues, interesting oncology pipeline, and opportunities to work on complex global clinical trials.

Cons

After a management change, the culture became much more focused on micromanagement and performance metrics. No support from HR or Leadership, and communication and trust declined significantly. Long-tenured employees may find the environment has changed. Run dont walk away!!!!!
