Pros

Easy Job: there's hardly any accountability so not much is required on the delivery end; most weeks can usually get by with working 30 hours or less Great Benefits & Salary As many business class flights to HQ in Europe as you want

Cons

No hope for promotion or advancement either above or below--senior management is dead set in its ways and will not change; the best you can do as a manager is watch out for yourself and do what's acceptible. If you are a true people manager and identify/relate to your reports this may not be the best place for you to work.

Pros

Lots of great experiences, can very challenging. A lot of great people who are willing to help you out when needed.

Cons

Some managers are very incompetent, which is sad. Was so much better before the Roche take over no matter how much Roche tries to pretend it's all the same.
