Pros
Being able to walk along the water at lunch while mentally preparing for interviews at other companies
Cons
So many. Too many to count. Start by naming practically everyone in the c-suite. Then go one level down and name about 75% of them. Another 50% at the next level. It’s a culture of backstabbing and cage fight competition, hidden behind words like “purpose,” “mission,” and “culture” as window dressing. They’ll be putting in entry/exit turnstiles in July ostensibly for “better security” but really to track time in office so that “leadership” can continue to show favoritism to the “rock stars” who only come in when they feel like it, or not at all, while the rest of their employees will receive feedback about their attendance problem. It’s a company that rewards performative exhibitions of power, escaping accountability for anything that goes wrong or isn’t going to be rewarded, and making sure things never improve through fear-based control and overly complicated layers of process upon process. Compensation under the VP level is below market for bio/pharma. Shareholders are 1000% more important than the worker bees toiling away in their thankless jobs, in a toxic environment.
