Pros

Smart colleagues and interesting customers to partner and collaborate with on scientific advances. Fairly relaxed culture - not a great deal of pressure.

Cons

Very much an boys club with a great deal of emphasis placed on being one of the guys. No apparent meritocracy at upper levels of the company - promotions seem to be based on who you know rather than results or sustained performance.

Pros

Local Global Opportunities if you're interested Hybrid (3 days office, 2 day home)

Cons

a. C-Suite is not trusted b. Poor leadership showing no compassion what so ever. c. HR is unapproachable and unavailable, even hidden behind hierarchy that makes it impossible to know who to call. That's the way they want it. d. NO work life balance... vacations, holidays, week-ends, nights, it's all on the table for some departments (not HR though). e. Long term employees who have contributed to the growth of the company are discarded or pushed to the side. You have to show your loyalty but don't expect it back.
