Pros
Helpful, intelligent people and tools Great, cooperative culture Positive, laid back, capable manager Impressive rewards for good performance Extensive, inexpensive health, vision, dental benefits I was able to negotiate the vacation time I wanted with no issues New recruiter and HR representative are kind and responsive Diverse, unique employees and women respected I spoke with my manager, and I think any negativity towards the leadership is the fact that they are brilliant scientists and leaders with extensive Ivy League style educations and intellect. They hire and respect true greatness, even in unique forms. I love being in an environment where management expects the best from everyone. I am so happy that I didn't believe the negative reviews I read on GD. They are not valid in my experience. I have spoken about the negative reviews to multiple colleagues and they don't get it either. I had to come back here to post. I am not in HR and this is a real review.
Cons
Retirement plan not the best (but better pay offsets this) Working Saturdays aren't a big deal, many companies have you do this at times and don't give you the time back like MSD does. I just sat here for several minutes thinking about it, and I can't think of anything else.
