Business outlook
Pros
Good science leads to a satisfying work experience. Excellent colleagues and department-level leadership. Benefits quite good, salary about average, bonuses reasonable (though falling)
Cons
Big pharma management style now results in sudden largescale shifts in emphasis, dropping or indefinite parking of research programs and arbitrary-seeming layoffs.
