Pros

The campus is beautiful and location is great!

Cons

This was once an organization where top biotech talent was or wanted to be. No longer is the culture a place that is conducive to success or a desirable place to work. The culture is now one where people will climb over you and push you down for any reason. It has become so toxic the only people still here are those that promote those behaviors and those who haven’t found a way out yet.

Pros

Amazing industry doing good in the world, super smart and friendly people, what else can you ask for?

Cons

None, really. It’s a big company to it takes a bit to get to know process, etc but that’s to be expected.

Pros

Stuck with them for 7 years because it was good back then. Comp is good, benefits are good, and if you're on campus its a nice experience. If you find the right team it can be a dream, but the flipside can be awful. Overall they have a lack of direction in what is turning out to be a highly competitive market.

Cons

Corporate bureaucracy and internal politics are strong but could be worse. The benefits were better in the past and all the perks are winding down with time as they tighten the budgets and try hard to pivot away from dying segments
