Pros

This company really puts people first. Lots say this, but this one truly lives it. Extra efforts are put into making sure you can show up as your "whole self" each and every day. They are creative, innovative, entrepreneurial and disruptive. Salary and benefits exceed expectations (as long as you dont live and commute to the home office in SSF where the cost of living negates the perceived advantages relative to other US located Pharma companies.

Cons

Spend so much time connecting and communicating that we have less than needed time to actually do the work. While benefits package is robust, I would like to see greater flexibility in adjusting to what the employee wants... One size fits all is weak. Also calibration and forced ranking remains a backwards approach to rewarding performance but these guys are not the only ones that still believe
