Pros

They provide lots of perks, and great benefits while allowing you a flexible work schedule. Like all pharma though it depends a lot on your manager

Cons

Its a pharma company. Too much micro management can kill you; just as bad teammates can. The base salary is still a bit light all things considered but they are still an up and coming pharma company
