Pros

401k (9%), Leave, Vacation, and PTO meet the industry standards.

Cons

-Compensation is well below other pharma companies (The same position is paid 50-75% more elsewhere). -Yearly merit increases don't keep up with inflation even for high performers. -Turnover is horrendous, I've never experienced a company with such high turnover. Experienced coworkers don't really exist, compensation is so low that people are constantly churning through positions/departments. Expect to constantly be doing other's jobs in addition to your own without any recognition or reward. -Benefits and perks are reduced every year -Outdated equipment and processes (new facilities built with old technology, do not expect cutting edge). -Culture is non-existent. Its "Save money and be cheap as possible." -Expect to train lower level team members that are paid significantly more than you. The compensation structure is set up so that external hires are paid significantly more than those that have been with the company for years and are experienced. -Very bitter workforce due to low compensation, high turnover, low recognition, high workload, etc.

Pros

Discount on many company products

Cons

Unfair treatment, upper management and HR get away with treating good people awful, friends of management get promoted not the people who actually know the jobs, horrible culture

Pros

Ample parking. Great science. A place to pick up skills that could serve you better elsewhere.

Cons

Absolutely stifling bureaucracy. Reorg after reorg. Patronizing and arrogant leadership without trust in the organizations they manage. A lack of clear leadership vision. Next to no US R&D autonomy makes everything absurdly slow, France calls the shots. Politics galore. Silo city. Laughable 1% salary increases for all year after year. Disillusioned and highly frustrated employees, many of whom are now looking for an exit. Very, very sad to see this happen to what was once a great place to work.
