Pros

Historically, culture has been great and treated employees more than fairly. Perks are great although not as good as the major techs in Silicon Valley.

Cons

Revenue pressures are going to change things. BioSimilars are on the horizon and will hit the top line. Generally that means shrinking of the costs and along with that comes job cuts.
