      Too much politics.

      Pros

      The only reason to work here is to get a good foundation and understand the methods of a proven player within the biotech/pharma industry.

      Cons

      The team I worked with was awesome but there is no communication between middle management on project status. One day we are working on a particular project and the next day we switch and just to keep things interesting we switch back on the third day. Too reactive and not proactive. Maybe its the lack of resources and the fact that decisions are made by a bunch of suits that have no clue about the actual work and only care about the bottom line.

      Used to be a good company

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Helping people in need Good benefits package

      Cons

      Ongoing retrenchments and no thought put into retaining people with experience and redeploying. Spending a lot of money when people are retrenched and in many cases they come back as contractors.

      Fair employment with limited advancement opportunities and rather political

      R&d project manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Benefits package is one of the best I've experienced. Freedom to do your job, Fair amount of freedom to do the job (though, see caveat below).Spread out campus allows you to get up and stretch when needed.

      Cons

      Far too encumbered by self-induced delays and hindrances. Too much excuse-making of the FDA inhibiting advancement, when the main causes are internal. Very political culture - it's often who you know. The pro's of freedom to do your job is countered by having many 'fiefdoms' where local 'tyrants' rule by holding a critical position.
