Pros

Nice people that are in your brigade. And you need to think like military because you are in a war to survive. Some things are easy here, like if you need premium software to do your job more easily you can get it. The new Cambridge office is also very nice and has great amenities.

Cons

The pace is unlike I’ve ever worked on. They tell you to only do what’s necessary, but then don’t change expectations. And it’s extremely political. It’s a blame game and just toxic in my opinion. There is also no LTI, so your base might be 5k more here, but that doesn’t make up for having no long term incentive.

Pros

Good benefits (9% 401k match, company car, solid insurance). Huge company with many therapeutic areas you can choose from. I like my coworkers.

Cons

Employee stock purchase plan is nice in theory, but stock has treaded water for many years. A very big company with lots of big pharma metrics to meet. Pay is maybe slightly below industry average.

Pros

Nice people to work with, not too pushy from direct supervisor

Cons

Pay is not as high as other big pharma, work culture starting to become toxic. We are starting to get more and more micromanaged in terms of needing to log exact work hours in the work computer. That becomes difficult when you are lab facing and not always on your laptop
