Pros
Astellas has some of the best benefits and salary structures in the area. Astellas also does a great deal to encourage diversity and community service.
Cons
Culture promotes a "what have you done for me lately" vibe that has everyone busy but few working on things that matter. Political skill will determine how well you survive in this location, especially as budgets get tighter. Seems like the best and brightest move to a healthier environment while the average or below average folk stay to milk the slightly higher salaries.
