Slow growth-Bad pipeline-High Redundancy
Pros
Good vacation and 401K match Good work-life balance Knowledgeable and helpful colleagues
Cons
Bad base salary compared to other big Pharma/Biotech. Very low annual salary growth Dwindling pipeline. Company is trying to improve pipeline through acquisitions. Employees of acquired companies are not treated properly leading to high turn-over. Work environment depends on the culture of the upper management. Minorities, specially women of color with advanced degrees and strong personalities are treated poorly. If you are not from top schools, famous labs, alumna of upper management or students of their collaborators, don't expect to be given good projects. You will languish in the same rank for several years. It's a boy's club. Men with less knowledge and experience are provided better growth opportunities.
