Pros

Good pay, company doing really well and good bonus - good scientists. Some really great inspiring leaders and colleagues.

Cons

Old school. Surprisingly tolerant of bully behavior even if it is only practiced by a powerful minority. Dominated by US based people - you in general need to be in America if you want to do well, or else make sure that you have a powerful US based sponsor . Do not genuinely value inclusive leadership - these leaders often seem to leave in frustration or get fired without announcement. Do not value further training, the only thing that counts is internal experience and network, and operationally means they don’t learn from others. A significant cohort of worthy people seem to either leave of their own accord or get pushed out.

Nasty culture on site

Pros

Salary and benefits, some hybrid working in certain roles

Cons

Really bad culture and management turn a blind eye. People treated awful by others, so they can move up the food chain

Pros

Nice, new offices, good pipeline and products, a top pharma company with good reputation

Cons

Very poor human resource support, very competitive environment with a lot of ‘ will do anything to get my next job’ type of mentality. Late hours, people are let go easily and the company seems to have a bit of a crisis in defining why they moved a bunch of people to Switzerland. Not a great place to work.
