      Pros

      World class lab facility in Cambridge, MA is really a nice place to work. The lab community is also a major benefit.

      Cons

      Salary is 20-25%% lower than the pharma companies in the area, which makes it hard to compete for housing in a highly competitive market. Research has little profile with exec mgmt, support for research is 30% below what it needs to be.

      Pros

      Good people at the local level. The work is engaging and challenging.

      Cons

      Too many to count. Career advancements are extremely limited. Pay raises are minimal and don't get close to keeping up with inflation even for top performers. At the corporate level they are using acquisitions to hide massive layoffs. They return billions in profit to investors consistently, but there is still a constant threat of layoffs and multiyear freezes on pay raises even with inflation and solid corporate profit.
