Pros

Patient driven Great perks and benefits Innovative Fun and unique culture with patient driven contributors.

Cons

The organization has moved to contract positions which creates less opportunity for permanent employees to develop or make lateral moves. Poor mid level management that prevent employees from growing unless you play the political game. If you play the political game then you will get promoted. Mid level management also focuses on training you to be a certain way rather than being yourself and focusing on your strengths.

Pros

Amazing science and amazing pipeline.

Cons

Most employees would love to stay with the company; unfortunately, the company culture has significantly changed. Inter-office politics especially with leadership. No work-life balance. Salary is not competitive.

Pros

Great company, great pay. The campus is nice and there is always something cool every day you hear or learn about. The general feeling is one of happy people and making a difference.

Cons

The contract workers are a huge part of the company and do most of the important manufacturing work. Unfortunately the company recently has slowed down to almost a halt with hiring contract workers, making it difficult for some areas to maintain the motivation and incentives for good work. Lots of talent is leaving the company doors without ever having the company really take a look at them.
