Business Outlook
Pros
Great benefits and overall compensation (especially . Nice work environment (offices, cafe, etc.) but there are some buildings that are very dated (depressing cube environment).
Cons
Has become a typical BIG PHARMA corporation. Bureaucratic, top heavy (there seem to be a lot of VPs), the culture is very insular, senior management seems very self interested. No work/life balance - expectations are high if you want to succeed (HR person emphasized this "...since we are a premium employer"). Stability is gone - major layoffs in 2011 and 2015 (localized layoff in R&D in 2014).
