Pros

Smart scientists who care about improving drug development; talented engineers

Cons

Any miss on bookings triggers a scramble to assign blame. Services can’t be bothered to champion company’s own software. Infighting between business units. Hard to believe this is one company.

Opportunity for learning within the organization

Lots of work, promotion is by seniority, not by performance. No transparency in salary and bonus structure. Many good and competent employees have left.
