      Pros

      Great benefits, onsite gym, transportation options. Positive thinking of most everyone you work with. Great development opportunities, senior management is willing to dedicate time to develop their employees to be sure everyone has a good work life balance. Bonus and Stock option programs are great, and good ways to keep us motivated

      Cons

      Difficult to get promoted from a lower level position. Often job opportunities are not given to internal candidates, even though that is the "mantra", promote from within. Often, senior management focuses so much on development, that they lose focus on what's important, and it feels that some people are always doing development, and not real value adding work.

      Pros

      Opportunity, compensation, and lots of new drugs coming. Art and Richard have a way of getting the most out of their people. They instill a strong confidence in the sales force to go out and help patients daily. I have worked at two other pharma companies and this one stands out on all levels. They treat you with respect and they expect you to perform.

      Cons

      So many smart people, its hard to stand out. The pending Roche buy out makes some of us a little concerned that our great thing will change. None of us know for sure what the future but I would guess most of us wish Roche never offered to buy the rest of us.
