Pros

Rapid growth and a lot of excitement about the future. Strong innovation engine, well funded and casting a wide net across multiple mechanisms of action in oncology. Strong rank and file employees with a lot of experience, smart and generally helpful.

Cons

Your experience will largely depend on your group. Initially work life balance was brutal as we were trying to do too much with too few people. The have substantially staffed up and localized much of the activities which creates less need for working around the clock although being a global company you will get some of that. Senior management not the strongest although they are bringing in more industry veterans. Cross cultural communication can be a challenge. All in all things are moving from not that great with brutal hours and unappreciated staff to more reasonable work schedules and a movement towards creating a stronger culture where people want to stay longer (retention was a big problem but getting better). My own personal experience has been largely positive and feel like it is meeting my growth and learning aspirations.

Pros

I did think about this and the pros are we get free snacks in the kitchens. A sad pro, but I could not come how with anything else. Oh, free parking too!

Cons

How much can I write? After being in the industry for 15 years plus, I have never seen such a train wreck. I have been here for two years and it feels like 20. They work you so much and there is never a promotion. There is never a thank you. Stock equity is almost nonexistent at this point. The next few years will be tough because our pipeline has nothing coming out. They also fire and lay off people all the time. You never know if you will come in one day and have a meeting with HR that you are blindsided by. The whole place is really working like a bad startup with a founder that wants to continue being CEO and has nothing new to offer. His wife is running the company because she is at every town hall and major event. She is not even an official employee of the company, but sits in all these meetings. Something is wrong with that. There is zero culture. I kept hoping this would change, but I gave up.
