Pros

The salary is very good and bonuses

Cons

The culture is super toxic. There is a seniority policy in place so if you have been there since day one (ten years) or came from Abbott and have a senior director title you are untouchable. Managers break chain of command and go to senior directors that you don’t even report to to complain about you bc they know them. There’s this need to feel like you have to be perfect all the time and you can’t make a mistake and if you do make a mistake then they use that company, heart principles to blackmail you and prove why you’re a bad person, the ethics hotline is totally fake when I said some thing to my boss about how I had been in meetings with the vice president and they told us to speak up she said that’s not real, it’s just something they say.

Pros

Not bad as pharma companies go. Relatively good job security. A lot of lovely, smart and hard working people. Benefits team are generally receptive and benefits have improved. Less likely to lay people off than other pharma/biotech.

Cons

Your experience is almost entirely dictated by your managers. Adherence to official policies is super variable. Site is relatively siloed from the rest of the company, top-heavy, and academic. Too many PhDs, not enough entry level development to support projects and execution. Sometimes a lack of clear leadership or direction and bizarre "old school" pharma opaque communication. Very limited, once yearly opportunities for promotion. Bizarre pay /compensation penalties for taking parental leave that saddles two different calendar years.
