Pros

Complex, global challenges present good opportunities for professional growth. Company has good reputation. Overall good co-workers.

Cons

Recent staffing cuts have been too deep in some areas, others appear to be unaffected. Work life balance can be difficult to achieve in some departments, burn-out is a real risk. Salaries are a bit below competitors for everyone but the senior management (whose salaries are above market-level). Departments are still a bit insulated and act in the department self interest, rather than an enterprise-wide view. Some of the restructuring seems to have been poorly thought out. The company is flush with cash, but some of the facilities are in a severe state of disrepair. Company benefits have suffered (such as the quality of the cafeteria).

Pros

Interesting work that brings new medicines addressing unmet medical needs. Working with a group of highly skilled and knowledgeable people Allowing requests to be laid-off with generous severance enabling early retirement if so desired.

Cons

Loss of experienced people leading to loss of institutional knowledge and expertise at getting things done right the first time. Many new folks learning their jobs. Continuous budget cuts and layoffs - good news is established folks can request layoff and retire early WORST huge errosion in medical benefits. 2025-2026 32% increase in cost of single person high deductible insurance. Huge increase in allowable billable cost for the same cpt code services (eg. 2025 Dr visit $115 and same visit in 2026 $247). This change was hidden from employees until they went to the Dr and received their EOB bills. Company is managing loss of patents/revenue by hitting employee health care hard
