Pros

Small company, clean and spacious environment, diversity of work and people, state of the art labs, scientific expertise, some longtime staff still in place for company and product history, physical location in the heart of biotech/drug community and MIT.

Cons

Senior management does not want to listen to staff and hear the sometimes difficult truth about a product or outcomes. Small company mindset can often lead to narrow viewpoints and lessen the diversity of innovative people and pipeline. Limitation of capital and resources is often inherent in such a small company.

Pros

The lack of personal egos allows decisions to be made in the best interest of advancing life saving therapies to patients. Decisions are made at meetings (instead of meeting after meeting where no decisions are made like at a large company) and so far it seems those making the decisions take responsibility for the consequences of those decisions. It is impossible to seamlessly merge science and business, but this company does it better than any I have worked at in my career.

Cons

Being a small company you will perform roles outside your job description, but this can be a pro in that you will expand your capabilities.
