Pros

Opportunity, compensation, and lots of new drugs coming. Art and Richard have a way of getting the most out of their people. They instill a strong confidence in the sales force to go out and help patients daily. I have worked at two other pharma companies and this one stands out on all levels. They treat you with respect and they expect you to perform.

Cons

So many smart people, its hard to stand out. The pending Roche buy out makes some of us a little concerned that our great thing will change. None of us know for sure what the future but I would guess most of us wish Roche never offered to buy the rest of us.

Great salary and team! The interview process was smooth and effective.

To be determined, but so far many alignment meetings. Some folks have frustuations around the re-org and strategy changes.

Pros

The work is meaningful and overall the company vision aligns with my goals

Cons

QA management has become inept. None of the leadership (aside from maybe one or two) truly understand the nuances of our site and jobs. They refuse to pay you more due to "budget" reasons but won't provide much information, they claim to be transparent but will make decisions behind your back and not communicate them, even if they impact you and/or your job. Leadership doesn't listen to feedback and gets defensive if you even try to give any. It honestly has become a game of politics only in QA and that's not really building any real quality culture.
