Pros

MSD is a good place to work. There are several department that you would be able to move if you don't like your current position. People are very nice, and helpful. In some departments there are more room in growth than the other and you can get promoted faster. But it all comes up to you to know what do you want from your job.

Cons

In some department because they are doing research based on grant, it might takes longer for you to get the promotion that you deserve because of the tight budget.

Pros

I get to eat outside when its warm and the free coffee is decent I guess.

Cons

1. The building is designed like a psychiatric ward. There are no windows and there is no decor on the walls. CEO doesn't like when we put things on the walls. Really weird. 2. Management is just not good. They don't understand HIPPA or employee privacy; additionally they lack empathy. 3. Safety is not safe at all. they treat their job like they are supposed to micromanage and nitpick certain individuals on the first floor but people on the second floor walk around wearing no PPE. 4. Management cannot handle any level of push back. If the boss says the sky is blue and you say no I think its cyan, youre fired the next day. They LOVE to fire people for pushback but let people who treat people nasty hang around. 5. The roaches....thats the comment 6. Just a little bit of racist energy and its not good. They dont appreciate black workers and it shows blatantly STAY AWAY. 7. PTO sucks. 8. Unless you are outside of a minority group, there is a ceiling and you will reach it quickly. No room for upward mobility if you dont bear the color they desire.
