Pros

-Smart people -Lots of hardworking people; maybe too hardworking where folks are sending late night emails, emails over the weekend, etc. -Pay is decent but not the highest in the pharma space

Cons

—Lean teams (constant layoffs), on average one every 1-2 years or so -WLB is a mix (see above), but it’s on you to pushback
