Pros

Great benefits Week off in the summer and winter Generous 401K matching Flexible work arrangement options (telecommuting, etc.) Beautiful campus with top notch gym

Cons

Top heavy, too many managers, not enough individual contributors Culture more like that of a big pharma company than a biotech, i.e. slow, bureaucratic Certain departments are political - not conducive to matrix org.
