Pros

Good place to be stagnate. If you like doing just operational type of work this is the place for you.

Cons

No upward mobility. If you are not a member of the EU you are looked down on.

Pros

Great campus to work at. Gardens and trees are always maintained. Good perks such as cafeteria and fitness classes available. Collegues are friendly and willingly to help anyone when needed. The company encourages learning by offering seminars and classes to all employees. It's kind of a semi academic culture, where most everyone is well respected. Definitely not a cut throat company. Collegues will offer advice when needed.

Cons

Palo Alto site is closing. Company is losing plenty of talent due to their Genentech offer.

Pros

Large company with lots of resources and interesting projects. Multiple sites and multiple divisions with interesting people working on a variety of problems through discovery and development. Generally good benefits, pension, and working atmosphere. Ability to interact with colleagues in multiple countries and ability to potentially have multiple careers within one company. Ability to attract and review vendors.

Cons

Management hierarchy based on politics on not on ability or merit. Too many meetings and yet too many groups not coordinated in efforts. The management does not match the talent of the people who work there. Cutural divide between headquarters in Basel and other sites.
