Pros

Excellent benefits package. Parental leave policy best in industry.

Cons

Virtually everything else. Internal politics are all that actually matters for advancement. Suck up to your boss? You'll be fine. Care about accuracy, reproducibility, scientific integrity, people owning their own mistakes, giving credit where it's do, etc. etc. Forget it. Work here only for the benefits and to pad your resume. Kiss up, tell whoever is above you whatever they want to hear, maybe publish a paper or two to burnish your brand and get the heck out of Dodge before the hive mind changes you.

Pros

Great benefits. A company that truly cares about its employees and their welfare. This place is great for working parents.

Cons

Annual increases are small in some years; the value of your salary can erode over time if you stay in the same position.

Pros

The company has an excellent, very collegial atmosphere. Employees are supported well and there is excellent support for most processes from numerous line functions.

Cons

Some processes as well as the governance structure can be a bit confusing. More so than other large pharma companies. But even with this. There are almost always enough people who know how to get things done.
