Pros

Beautiful campus and facilities, smart people, pay's competitive for employees hired with industry experience. Excellent benefits. Challenging work. Opportunities to move around laterally and learn new areas of the business. Promising pipeline of drugs.

Cons

Heavy work load requires careful work life balance. Pay tends to be lower than industry if organically promoted from within. Can get fairly political, especially at mid to upper management levels.
