Pros

Good work life balance, the layoffs were not well thought out, they just eliminated people who might actually know about FDA submissions and now hiring people again, to fill lower level with even more incompetent people.

Cons

Working with inexperienced people, who have no idea about how a trial is run. They have unblinded teams before time, written SAP after the trial started and made modifications after looking at results.
