Pros

Good training and mentoring for new hires Great, friendly people and open, approachable environment Good facilities and overall atmosphere Great community involvement and interaction Work-life balance is supported Good sense of purpose and production

Cons

It is a regulated (FDA, Euro/Japan Health boards) so a lot of regulations and requirements, which may seem excessive, are needed and must be followed. It makes working more difficult, but ensures that everything is done correctly (or at least verified that it means a standard). Sometimes the goals of projects seem overly tedious.
