Pros

Higher pay than avg. Surrounded by good researchers. Strong virology.

Cons

Promotion cycle stalled. Good people are leaving. New hires are based on if they are from amgen, than anything else. Onc and inflam haven't shown much promising outcome since the new EVP joined. A lot of resources and effort lead to nothing due to poor leadership decisions.
