      Pros

      Nice people. Great mission. Gorgeous campus. Great benefits. The campus overlooks Oyster Point which is beautiful. The on-site gym is beyond state of the art with plenty of interesting classes and free to employees. Open neighborhood environment is nice. Focus on sustainability in building design is great. Fantastic history in general... after all, Biotech started there.

      Cons

      Pay is a bit low for the Bay Area. Not very progressive. Slow due to convoluted processes. Internally focused, while healthcare is changing rapidly. Need the external view.

      Pros

      The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

      Cons

      QA management has become inept. None of the leadership (aside from maybe one or two) truly understand the nuances of our site and jobs. They refuse to pay you more due to "budget" reasons but won't provide much information, they claim to be transparent but will make decisions behind your back and not communicate them, even if they impact you and/or your job. Leadership doesn't listen to feedback and gets defensive if you even try to give any. It honestly has become a game of politics only in QA and that's not really building any real quality culture.
