Pros

In general the teams here are very good and there is a lot of ambition to change how things are done to move faster and more efficiently. The execution of that is better said then done, but the want is there. The benefits are about what you could expect for big Pharma (average vacation, 9% 401k match (150% of 6%), okay healthcare, good parental leave for the US, average bonus structure for the industry (dependent on level and personal & company performance).

Cons

Pay. The pay here is very, very low compared to the industry. I cannot stress enough how low it is and how much HR will try and gaslight you into believing it is competitive. The pay ranges are absurdly wide. Every team is underfunded (don't blame your boss, they have no options). If you are coming from another company negotiate as much as possible because once you are employed the only real raises (even if you are a high performer) you will get are for promotions. Yearly raises are non-existent. What budgets managers get from HR for yearly raises get spent on keeping exceptionally low paid team members from falling off the pay scale.

Pros

Good benefits (9% 401k match, company car, solid insurance). Huge company with many therapeutic areas you can choose from. I like my coworkers.

Cons

Employee stock purchase plan is nice in theory, but stock has treaded water for many years. A very big company with lots of big pharma metrics to meet. Pay is maybe slightly below industry average.

Pros

Nice people to work with, not too pushy from direct supervisor

Cons

Pay is not as high as other big pharma, work culture starting to become toxic. We are starting to get more and more micromanaged in terms of needing to log exact work hours in the work computer. That becomes difficult when you are lab facing and not always on your laptop
