Pros

Non, oh sorry nice cafeteria and beautiful grounds and koi fish

Cons

Old school Texas mentalities that are pissed off that Novartis acquired them number 1 and if your from the East Coast forget it....there is definitely prejudice with these people who have been in their jobs for way too long. Novartis really needs to go in and clean up all the dead TEXAS wood!
