Pros

- Incredibly talented researchers and scientists passionate about developing new medicines for the patients - Clever and fun coworkers - Interesting projects

Cons

- Dishonest leadership that cuts employees bonuses without a warning based on the office attendance - Lack of accountability for poor decisions impacting employees. Decisions are made based on favoritism - Lower level employees doing work get no credit. The environment is not collaborative which creates a lot of duplication of work and inefficiencies - The benefits vary tremendously depending on the country you're based in (parental leave, vacation days, etc.) - Lack of life/work balance, the compensation does not match the workload
