Pros

The work environment and the people are great. Nothing but a great experience getting to know the other employees and relatively straight-forward work.

Cons

Not the easiest company to give and receive information. Sometimes I would not have anything to do for a number of days and when I would ask the higher ups I was told to just wait, which was frustrating at times.

Ability to attract brilliant and change in leadership in 2013 reminded people what made the company great - great science.

Seemingly constant change and resource allocation doesn't always match demand

Pros

Great culture and environment. I have worked for several companies and this is the best company I have worked for. The people are great,, interesting work, plenty of opportunities for personal development and generally good work life balance.

Cons

Some of the senior leadership at the market level are disappointing, they need to do better at hiring the right leaders that know how to unleash potential, engage and excite their people. On another note, AZ says you can work from home, but there isnt really a culture for it and you'll be questioned left, right and center and made to feel distrusted even if you ask (no reason not to trust until you havent delivered I say...).
