Pros

Lunch, work hrs flexibility, stocks, free parking, good lighting at desk.

Cons

Unless you are in bioinformatics, your work won’t be praised! Yep, BI is the Star Team! Very difficult to get title change, let alone a raise.management reorg all the time, and can be micromanaging. They have “FistBump” recognitions, which are a SCAM! Everyone deserves a fist bump, yet again I keep seeing the same people rotating up there.

Pros

food, lots of food, nice parties.

Cons

Increasingly getting more political. Very obvious favorism. It's all boiled down to who is good at pleasing your managers, directors, and the VPs. If you are good at it, you last, you get promoted. If not, you are out. This shameful practice is normalized in GH. It is reinforced during their reorganizations and layoffs. There are some very talented individuals at higher positions, so this is not for all. However there are some very obviously incompetent ones that influence the whole management culture.
