Pros

Worked with an amazing team; Everybody is friendly and willing to help each other. The training team was outstanding - very good training.

Cons

The only con is the outsourcing the company did within our department. The third-party our work has been outsourced to is very low quality, but could (hopefully) get better.

Pros

Some people- through professionals, good benefits, good salary,proximity to south bay, well connected to major cities. home of former blockbuster heart stent (xience)

Cons

Too many to list- some important ones; 1. Occupational health hazards- ergonomic injuries hushed up for years due to constantly demanding and leadership lacking professionals in management levels, surprized that CA health authorities have not taken notice 2. No pipeline. Risky business proposition product- with all eggs in one basket which is very likely to fail 3. Undeserving promotions (only 2 qualifications needed- lack of brain cells and ability to play golf or watch 49er games with management) 4. No accountability- when best employees were leaving and atmosphere was created to drive away the 'smart' folks- senior management cheered! 5. Absolute lack of ethics, morals and standards for >50% of employees. 6. Job descriptions; 80% time making stupid power point slides to make manager look good infront of senior management/important audience and explain to him and reherse with him the content(Must do- non negotiable); 15% some actual scientific work (optional), 5% push paper with blind eyes- required. You will loose your skills very fast and become Abbotized and no one will want you anyway then
