Pros

Company as a whole has great culture. Welcome package, training, etc

Cons

The company is going through a stressful time and some management are creating an extremely toxic work environment with a blame culture. People are scared to speak up and watching their back. People are leaving. Not a good time to join. Look again after the drugs are approved. There is only a work-work balance. Meetings all day, work starts after 5. Almost everyone work late nights.
