Pros

Vacation, full benefits, stock for even junior employees.

Cons

Groups are very localized and somewhat disconnected. Some managers are really great, and their team grows and learns quickly, and others aren't, and have a high employee turnover rate. You'll figure out which is which pretty quickly.

Pros

I joined Xencor because I felt like my research skills and interest in antibodies were really well aligned.

Cons

Unfortunately, as promising as the science is, the political climate here is devastating and gets in the way of doing good work. Leadership does nothing about the internal one up-manship and fighting. Also, it's a major hotbed for gossip and that happens in departments that should very much know better.
