Pros

Great science and research opportunities.

Cons

Compensation not competitive with local area biotechs. Need to have more cultural and life balance activities and investment. Need more investment to compete with local area companies as best place to work in Boston.

Pros

Good pay and benefits. Despite the failures of leadership, bonus payouts are excellent. Smart people who still care.

Cons

Executive leadership is completely out of touch and the company is directionless. Every year there are multiple rounds of layoffs, aging infrastructure gets worse every year, morale is low and the joke is that people hang on to “get a package”. Opportunities for advancement are very few and far between.
