Pros

Up to date technology, good benefits and vacation, decent pay, decent cafeteria and gym.

Cons

Coming in as a contractor it can take a long time to go from contractor to FTE. Often it seemed as if there was no rhyme or reason to promotions.

Pros

Great work environment. Excellent resources to support world class research with some of the smartest scientist as colleagues. A lot of basic science research to support drug discovery programs. A very academic feel with almost daily seminars by academic professors. Environmental consciousness. Community outreach with programs like community lab, the Biogen foundation and support for NPR. Amazing benefits.

Cons

Like all companies, business needs drive job security irrespective of the scientific importance
