Pros

Compensation, benefits, and perks are great.

Cons

Management made poor business decisions the past 8 years or so, and it appears it continues to do so (even 2 years after I left). Group/department work environment was great but overall site (inter-departmental) politics is horrible. Own pipeline is thin. Overly dependent on potential drug candidates being developed by small external discovery labs.

Pros

I met some really great people there. I felt like I was truly a part of something bigger than myself. Loved the goal... health for all, hunger for none. I mentored some brilliant minds, and I am honored to have been there to support them.

Cons

If the team you're working with likes you, you're golden. If you do things a little differently but can still achieve good results, it will not be enough. Basically, fit in or they will find clever ways to get rid of you, like putting you in charge of a project that you have little-to-no experience working on, and then terminate you when things aren't 100% better.
