Pros

People, research, benefits, culture, strongly respected healthcare company in the oncology market. Access to medicines for patients with assistance programs.

Cons

Lower compensation than other companies can be frustrating. It is also why many people leave the company. They do have some of the best benefits. There isn't always a lot of opportunity for advancement unless you want to move to New Jersey
