Pros

Overall a great company with strong leadership from the top. Pascal is doing his best to guide the ship in the right direction. A lot of talented people and great benefits (good pay, bonus, retirement plan, etc.).

Cons

Way too many organizational changes with job reductions during my tenure. I've seen good people let go so the company can hit year end targets and then they back fill the position in the new year.

Pros

Competitive pay and benefits. Good work-life-balance.

Cons

Do not join if role is in Wilmington, DE. This site will likely close within next 3 years. Some roles will move to Gaithersburg but most people will simply lose their jobs

Pros

Great medicines, many great people, good comp and benefits program

Cons

Do not value people - too many people let go. The financial situation should not be a surprise so they should not have been hiring and then turning around and letting people go. It demonstrates a lack of sensitivity to people and their families.
