Pros

Awesome benefits, good salary, very smart people

Cons

Advancement impossible unless you’re a pet, previous success gets you hired but then doesn’t count, too focused on short-term financials, company built and operated around most expensive/longest sale-cycle product line and expects everyone else—who would be with the “right products” if they were any good—to prop it up, WAY too much shuffling of deck chairs because too many middle managers who don’t know what they’re doing

Pros

Salary, benefits, beautiful campus, well equipped, flexibility

Cons

If you are over 50 you probably won't be hired for an on-campus job. If you are over 50 and already work on campus beware.

Pros

Meaningful work: people really are committed to improving the lives of patients with serious health problems -- that's a huge plus Strong science and research focus Strong commitment to sustainability Good salaries and benefits Global opportunities and many opportunities for short-term assignments in other locations/departments (with manager approval)

Cons

Lots of great line managers (esp first time line managers). But be VERY wary of middle management. Too many have their own agenda, are out for themselves, give only lip service to company values etc. Will not back you up; in fact, would not hesitate to throw you under the bus if it helps advance their career. Senior management either doesn't know or doesn't care about the middle management problems Says it has a speak up culture but the reality is a long way from the ideal Matrix organization = office politics galore HR is not on your side Many depts seem to be reorging with possible loss of positions
