Solid place to experience drug discovery as it is really done

Group leader

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great colleagues, good resources, interesting projects. Good mix of biologics and small molecules.

Cons

Slow and very cautious to develop drug candidates (i.e., many worthy candidates never progress to clinical trials). Management can be parochial, and seems at times not to understand how to truly nurture a worldwide company.

Decent Company, Strange Culture

R&d engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

People are very motivated to help those with diabetes. Nice location. Great pay and benefits (bonus, stock, pension). Better than average job security. Interesting products that help people. A decent place to work overall.

Cons

Poor teamwork. Groups are set against each other, and within groups there are favorites and rejects. This is not an open environment: yes-men will flourish. If you are cautious or highlight concerns instead of successes you are often punished. Oversight is ineffective - nobody asks questions in reviews, from bottom to top. (I would be punished if I asked probing questions so I am silent.)
