Pros

Pay was competitive along with benefits

Cons

Direct management ruled with an iron fist, motivating by fear and insults. Swallowed by Novartis who promptly moved most research jobs offshore, much like Novartis proper and Sandoz generics. Do not work here the stability of jobs in the US is very much in question. Dont work at the other places either.
