Pros

Innovative drugs, lots of resources, good benefits and pay, concerts, gifts, Apple technical devices rather than Windows computers. Excellent pipeline.

Cons

One's experience is highly variable depending on your job, whether you are a contract employee and your manager. Employee concerns not always taken seriously.

Pros

Great medical dental vision benefits. Good 401k. The cheapest premium medical plan i have ever seen. My son and I were covered for less then $40 a month.

Cons

The type of place others will step on you to get ahead. People that work here, this is their forst job out of college and they dont have alot of experience working with different types of people. People here will back stab you just to get a promotion.
