Pros

Intelligent people. Positive mindset and interaction between disparate groups and departments. Solid leadership. Driven more by the desire to enhance our developmental drugs than by profit margins.

Cons

The only real con was being bought out by a pharma that did not work in the same manner and most certainly did not understand our business culture.

Some positives, a lot of cons

Pros

Salary for the region is average if you hire into the company. Flexible work time is good if you have a manager that is willing to let you use it.

Cons

The onsite daycare is not a benefit. Most employees do not use it because it is overpriced even with the employee discount and is not managed appropriately. Location is not good. On my first day, I was told to adjust my work schedule according to the season because I did not want to walk through the parking lot at night. I witnessed a gun battle about 1 pm on the street in front of the building. People are shifted into new positions frequently with no imput from the employee. Often the job does not match the employee's strengths or experience.
