Pros

It is an aggressive company with an emphasis on training and renumeration. Due to its branding, its easy to be able to secure appointments with doctors.

Cons

It has very high targets and likes to set unrealistic expectations. Colleagues are always on guard as promotion is very competitive and this led to internal politics.

Pros

Very good pay and benefits

Cons

Too much bureacracy, not enough science driven decisons. Management is overly concerned with late stage projects so that the early stage projects have suffered. Managers are engaged to gather inforamtion and feed it upwards. There is very little communication flowing down to bench scientists.
