Pros

Comradery among peers, contributing to discovery and advancement of life-saving therapies.

Cons

Where to begin? New CEO is completely disconnected and seems to have no idea what PE does. NMC is strangling the business to the point that there are no merit increases, while health coverage requires more employee contribution with less contribution from PE. Much of PE's top tier talent is actively looking to jump ship as this "new" PE has no plan or structure in place to reward their best talent. Senior leaders mute mics and disable comments during townhalls, are very clearly disinterested in hearing what their people have to say. Very poor communication coming from top levels of the company, very little transparency or honesty. It took about 6 months for NMC and the new regime to kill morale, this is not a place right now for talent with other options.

Pros

Used to be a wonderful place to work before being bought out.

Cons

There is no feeling of teamwork anymore. Management could be quite nasty and favoritism ran high. New manager seemed to like running things like it was a third world country.
