      Good place to work but it used to be much better.

      Pros

      Good benefits, fair salary, friendly atmosphere, very skilled people working withn this company.

      Cons

      Overall a good place to work but I would agree with the earlier comments about the work/ life balance. If you expect to excel you will be working in excess of 45-50 hours per week with limited time for vacation. Especially true in the engineering groups. The situation is so bad that employees were told by the director to refrain from vacation during a 4 month long shutdown. Other cons are minimal but there has been a shift in morale over the past couple of years due to certain key management individuals and promotions.

      Cons

      None, nonething, sometimes processes are bit time consuming.

      Pros

      Driven and disciplined organization doing great work to help patients with deadly or debilitating diseases. The motivation employees gleen from these patients is palpable. The level of intelligence among all departments is impressive. It is generally a place where you can act on your own ideas and see them through fruition. Strong performance is rewarded here better than most places I've seen or experienced.

      Cons

      The velocity at which this company operates can be tiresome and intimidating. There is little room for work/life balance. If you seek stabilty then this is the wrong palce for you. Change here is rapid and frequent. It is difficult at times to distinguish between whether someone is truly a strong performer or just a 'teacher's pet.'
