Pros

Ample parking. Great science. A place to pick up skills that could serve you better elsewhere.

Cons

Absolutely stifling bureaucracy. Reorg after reorg. Patronizing and arrogant leadership without trust in the organizations they manage. A lack of clear leadership vision. Next to no US R&D autonomy makes everything absurdly slow, France calls the shots. Politics galore. Silo city. Laughable 1% salary increases for all year after year. Disillusioned and highly frustrated employees, many of whom are now looking for an exit. Very, very sad to see this happen to what was once a great place to work.

Pros

Nice people to work with, not too pushy from direct supervisor

Cons

Pay is not as high as other big pharma, work culture starting to become toxic. We are starting to get more and more micromanaged in terms of needing to log exact work hours in the work computer. That becomes difficult when you are lab facing and not always on your laptop
