Pros

- Products, doing something that helps society - Good comp (though what you negotiate at the beginning will have a big impact but that's true for most companies) - Possibilities to learn and grow, also to go abroad - Mature organization - Genentech

Cons

- Promotions are not always happening based on actual skills and performance - As a result, working with some of the managers is challenging - Big corporation, meaning: has the advantages of it but also cons - procedures, processes, roles that could be cut with Occam's Razor, so be prepared for a lot of people approving/planning/executing everything - especially since it's in a highly regulated industry

Pros

The benefits are great and the pay is better than most.

Cons

They care more about forcing efficiency measures than solving root problems. They want to enact "morale boost" events but refuse to ask why we were unhappy. This year they decided to devalue our pay and our efforts by giving everyone a static 2% raise
