Pros

Professional development, environmental sustainability, and ethical development of products (therapeutics) are at the forefront of culture. Opportunities to move within the company are available for those who put in time and energy to network and apply. Great people. Super smart colleagues who are changing peoples lives through cutting edge medicine.

Cons

Some employees who have been here for a long time (20+) years have a lot of negative energy and make things political. Lots of bureaucracy at times can make it feel like you’re not productive, but that’s often the reality of a highly regulated industry (we need to make sure our products are safe! We aren’t making software like tech companies nearby, we are improving quality of life!)
