      Pros

      The company offers fantastic benefits, a very competative salary, and is made up of many employees who truly want to do the best job possible.

      Cons

      The company has undergone tremendous growth over the last few years, and this has not always been managed in the best way possible. Some long-time employees are clearly unhappy with the direction the company is moving. What started out as a small, highly collaborative working environment has become more and more like "big pharma".
