Pros

Benefits, child care center and work life balance are good. Colleagues keep one another spirits going to make it through the day.

Cons

Always waiting to be told that your position has been eliminated. Positions are eliminated also due to manager's dislike of a particular colleague. Atmosphere is like a dead zone. Colleagues are overworked due to the large amount of layoffs.

Pros

In the Research realm, the resources and scientific capabilties were extraordinary. At the La Jolla site, the legacy of scientific integrity survived for a number of years beyond the acquisition by Pfizer but suffered in recent years.

Cons

The quality of the decision-making at the site governance and global leadership levels was abysmal. New strategies were paraded out with great fanfare and then abandoned within a year or two simply because a new guy took over at the top.
