Pros

Nothing worth torturing yourself ...

Cons

1- Toxic environment - they undervalue your work and then steal it and present it themselves. There is no right way to get the credit of your work. 2- They exclude you (specially if you are minority) from important meeting and information. Then, they bully you that you have not show enough initiation to be involved. 3- They abuse your skill set to make fake scientific stories for publications. These people are against science and facts. FDA should really take a closer look. 4- In general, the company is going south by wrong decisions. Check their current drugs and compare to their competitors. 5- No work- life balance. They make you work like a dog under extreme micro-management. 6- They lie to your eyes everyday. It is disgusting to work with these unethical people. 7- When they want to hire you, they try to sell you that these is a great place, be aware, these is their trick to hire, then they give you some sign on package that in order to have it, you have to stay with them for at least two-three years. This is how they trap you. 8- The diversity is very low in a weird way. Each department is almost single race, e.g., all Chinese, or all white 9- Lots of duplication projects, because they copy each other or steal each other's work. 10- If you still have not been convinced, try and see it for yourself.

Pros

-The only pros are the amazing benefits - probably the best 401K I've seen as well as the highly competitive salaries.

Cons

-Lack of culture is a growing and rampant issue - there is a very high level of favoritism -Micromanagement from senior leadership - instances occuered where they essentially forced an employee to resign and not directly fire him/her just so that they wouldn't have to pay severence package, etc. Managers want to just make themselves look good and make it clear that your only job is to acf as if they are God's gift to this messed up planet. -Lack of proper communication and frequent unnecessary team meetings held which are a waste of time and do not accomplish any desirable results.
