Pros

Good learning opportunity from senior management working as scientist.

Cons

Toxic workplace and gossip culture. No depth of talent. Provides only money on name of benefits. No care of employee. Manager intrusive in personal life.

Pros

Amazing science and pipeline, very easy to get excited about the products and technology. Very smart people, and when it comes to "boots on the ground" they are for the most part team players who care about one another. Pay and benefits are good. Name recognition opens a lot of doors.

Cons

Toxic leadership that starts at the very top. Yes-men/women are promoted, everyone else either leaves or is forced out. You have to do an inordinate amount of self promotion and positive messaging to do well here, internal forecasts are a mess of everyone lying to themselves and others. There is no personal development or internal promotion, but there is a TON of manufactured urgency and self-inflicted wounds due to everything being done in a hurry. Very few colleagues with tenure past 3 years, and it's not only because the company is growing and hiring (that's what they tell you) - in fact most people either leave, are fired, on go on long-term sick leave due to burnout and stress-related illness after about 2 years. Don't know anyone at this company that isn"t currently job-searching wanting to leave the chaos.

Pros

Not a lot i am afraid! Backstabbing. Very weak leadership. Systems that if applied to anything compliance based would fall flat on its face! Be prepared to be fixing everything, whilst still doing your actual job, two jobs if you like.

Cons

Everyone pushed to the brink of wanting to take their own life. Workload impossible! Systems dire at the very best! Training..... so many modules that you may as well be back and uni! But not in a good way! Pointless module after module! In the middle of nowhere, not that you get the time to ever pop out! Canteen, pretty poor standard and expensive! Senior management inept at actually being leadership. Pay way way below par. Start a task, then get pulled into everything else, never returning to complete even the basics!
