Pros

Great office, flexible working, some amazing people, fairly informal work culture

Cons

They tolerate bullying, which unfortunately can override all the positives. Interesting to see that bullying comes up in a lot of these reviews, too.

Pros

Benefits, some work life flexibility, nice buildings

Cons

When leadership is good, it is good. When it isn't good, it sucks. Unfortunately, when good leaders are put in roles they are moved around quickly. Advancement is nil unless you are in the boys club. Even the few women who get promoted are promoted as pawns for the men. Politics are horrible and collaboration between teams is hard. We are all supposed to be on the same side but leadership and people who are allowed to be idiots ("oh it is just so and so's way....") make work harder. And if you are very good at your job as a worker bee, it is highly unlikely you are going to be promoted. They want you to continue in that capacity. They under use talent.

More politics, less science, less communications

Pros

Big company with good benefits, has good long term strategy. Ability to buy new companies that adds to scientific strategy.

Cons

Tries to look like a fair and good company, but actions taken are usually for the business profits made by company, with less concern for employees. Politics and personal gains dictates most decisions at a manager - employee level, decreasing motivation from employee’s side.
