Pros

Nicest colleagues you'll ever work with

Cons

The nicest colleagues you'll ever meet have zero power or influence but compensation package is good enough keep them quiet and complicit Backtrack on DEI means eliminating of many excellent groups that have existed for >10 years that have direct impact on elimination of the gaps in pay inequality Long-term employees have drunk the Kool-Aid and nods to whatever the executive committee says The mission of drugs to patients is a euphemism of patients are money for this company

Pros

Great culture, focus on innovation, lots of resources for employees, good focus on employee development, very good benefits package.

Cons

Difficult to advance unless skilled at politics. Can be large and bureaucratic at times. Stock flat or falling in recent years makes stock options not valuable.
