      Pros

      Stable work if revenue from patented drugs is generated

      Cons

      Poorly managed company. If target revenues are not hit, then expect layoffs to run rampant.

      Some good scientists and managers. Employees treated poorly by company.

      Pros

      There are some good scientists and managers here.

      Cons

      Almost everything else. The compensation and benefits are subpar for the Bay area. The bureaucracy is a nightmare. If you need any help, the solution is always "call the helpdesk." The helpdesk is a useless.

      Pros

      Great scientific environment to work in with folks who are committed to doing cutting edge research and getting medicines to patients who need them!

      Cons

      Frequent reporting structure changes means changing projects often which is extremely disruptive to individual programs and teams. This is the first company I’ve worked for where your project is strictly tied to who your boss is.
