Pros

Great mission, facilities and people. Science is top-notch and the reputation is fantastic. True commitment to patients.

Cons

Unbelievable workload, and expectation that most people will contribute a substantial amount of their personal time to working. Due to the parent company being in Switzerland, many calls happen very early in the morning (6-9 AM).

Pros

Forgiving work culture. People are very nice. Great place for a new grad to start working.

Cons

You start to think twice about a company when their corporate leaders tell all their employees to promote specifically females up the latter. So much for Equal Opportunity.
