Pros

if you're a scientist, the potential is great - given lots of freedom to explore personal growth while on company time.

Cons

Very little emphasis placed on functions/organizations other than scientific. Lack of respect for those without advanced degrees, science degrees and the like. Dysfunction between organizations that can be paralyzing to getting things done Lots of 'legacy issues' - people, ways of doing things (project management, process, etc.) - not enough open minds to engage for forward thinking discussions and brainstorming.

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.
