Pros

Pockets of highly competent scientists, professionals and all-around lovely people. Interesting science, promising platforms and pipeline.

Cons

Toxic, chaotic workplace culture due to understaffing and inexperienced management, leading to a wave of resignations from highly critical roles, despite two promising assets in the clinic and more in the pipeline. Staff speaks out but senior leadership does not care.
