      Pros

      Motivated (and really nice) colleagues, excellent science, competitive salaries. Good collaboration across sites.

      Cons

      Too much bureaucracy, even at the Redwood City site. Individuals and teams are not empowered to Few opportunities to advance once you've hit the "glass ceiling". Poor work/life balance - employees are overwhelmed by the amount of work to do. Company has down-sized but did not reduce group's performance expectations, which is not sustainable long-term. Company uses a lot of contract employees instead of hiring full-time employees, which harms morale and culture.

      Very rewarding company

      Pros

      Very competitive salary; outstanding perks including a free 24-7 concierge service and onsite pharmacy, fitness centers, onsite daycare, pension & 401(k); highly collaborative work environment; outstanding leadership at all levels. Most managers are also open to flexible work arrangements to support work/life balance and a global service model.

      Cons

      HQ campus is spread out, so spend extra time traveling to meetings and facilities. Although many facilities have been remodeled to more open and modern workspace, there are still a few cube farms. And if you want to live in the city, commuting by car from downtown Chicago is very tough, but Metra and shuttle service makes it doable.
