Pros
I moved to Genentech from academia: what a breeze of fresh air! I found devoted colleagues, inspired people, a phenomenal work-life balance. Academia was really getting detrimental and here I found a fresh start. I always dared pharmaceutical companies for no good reason. I guess it is part of the academic pyramid scheme to have you believe they are the only good guys and all other places are "dirty". My spouse says I'm back the happy chap I was 20 years ago. Indeed I could be happier.
Cons
Huge company. So many divisions and so many groups. I'm still learning after months here.
