Pros

Nicest colleagues you'll ever work with

Cons

The nicest colleagues you'll ever meet have zero power or influence but compensation package is good enough keep them quiet and complicit Backtrack on DEI means eliminating of many excellent groups that have existed for >10 years that have direct impact on elimination of the gaps in pay inequality Long-term employees have drunk the Kool-Aid and nods to whatever the executive committee says The mission of drugs to patients is a euphemism of patients are money for this company

Pros

Great salary and team! The interview process was smooth and effective.

Cons

To be determined, but so far many alignment meetings. Some folks have frustuations around the re-org and strategy changes.

Pros

The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

Cons

QA management has become inept. None of the leadership (aside from maybe one or two) truly understand the nuances of our site and jobs. They refuse to pay you more due to "budget" reasons but won't provide much information, they claim to be transparent but will make decisions behind your back and not communicate them, even if they impact you and/or your job. Leadership doesn't listen to feedback and gets defensive if you even try to give any. It honestly has become a game of politics only in QA and that's not really building any real quality culture.
