Pros

The location and campus are great selling points, but the real pro is the work enviroment- challenging, freedom to think and flexibility of hours.

Cons

Given the acquisition of Wyeth by Pfizer, there is a high level of uncertainty about which organizations and sites will remain unscathed. The current sentiment (July 2009) is that if you are in BioPharma or Vaccines you will be safe, since this will be headed by Wyeths current R&D head. Who Knows?

Advice to Senior Management

Please communicate better with all employees, especially during this stressful time. Unless you are near the top you hear very little of what is going on with the acquisition.
