Pros

Tremendous amount of cash on hand. Great gym and campus in Thousand Oaks. Shutdown 1 week in Summer and 1 week in winter. Excellent 401k match

Cons

Greater dedication for shareholder value which is code for sacrificing spend on r and d. Weak pipeline in late stage. Can’t sell drugs and deployed a shared economic approach with partners. Refusal to go into rare diseases has forced company to go into crowded spaces with generics and competition.

Pros

Excellent compensation, benefits, and career development opportunities. Strong investment in innovation, patient-focused mission, and world-class manufacturing capabilities. The New Albany site offers exposure to complex biologics operations, large-scale capital projects, and opportunities to work alongside talented and dedicated professionals committed to delivering medicines to patients.

Cons

The culture and leadership experience became increasingly inconsistent during the last year. Decision-making often lacked transparency, priorities shifted frequently, and employee feedback did not always appear to be valued. The people-centered culture that attracted many long-tenured employees seemed to drift, resulting in reduced trust, lower engagement, and increased organizational uncertainty.
