Pros

opportunity to work at a well established and financially successful company Intensity and fast paced environment provides more experience in shorter time Compensation is competitive with similar companies in the area

Cons

Dozens of senior IT employees have left recently and nothing has been done to address it. "manage by fear" - a practice used by an inexperienced, self-serving leadership group to ensure hard working IT employees continue to deliver making themselves appear successful. However, what they didn't expect was once companies started hiring again the flow of talented employees out the door would start - and continue. For those still left behind: be well aware of the likelihood that someone sitting next to you is either getting a new job or desperately seeking one. You have a choice.

Pros

Animal/Pet loving company with great people.

Cons

Some of the business logic is very lab or biology oriented so some background with that would help.
