Pros

- Incredibly talented researchers and scientists passionate about developing new medicines for the patients - Clever and fun coworkers - Interesting projects

Cons

- Dishonest leadership that cuts employees bonuses without a warning based on the office attendance - Lack of accountability for poor decisions impacting employees. Decisions are made based on favoritism - Lower level employees doing work get no credit. The environment is not collaborative which creates a lot of duplication of work and inefficiencies - The benefits vary tremendously depending on the country you're based in (parental leave, vacation days, etc.) - Lack of life/work balance, the compensation does not match the workload

Decent company but could be better

Pros

Good pay and rewards with good opportunities for development . Decent amount of autonomy (if you have the right boss) given with modern offices . Excellent use of technology and a good inclusive / diverse culture .

Cons

Reluctantly gave in to hybrid working but it feels like it isn’t liked by the senior leaders - felt like a step backwards after COVID . Very corporate , alot of time wasted with people telling “their story” for their function rather than just moving forward at pace, resulting in endless PowerPoint presentations. Many roles moved to low cost locations with many issues as a result such as language barriers and finding the right skill set , results in Senior staff having to step in and do work which should be done at a more junior level .
