Pros
Great new facility. Lots of amenities in the NYC campus building. Research Associates for the most part are a great group of people to work with. Benefits are okay. Once ImClone was fully integrated into Lilly, PPOs were no longer an option for insurance. You now have the option of HSA or HRA, though the company does deposit money into those accounts at the beginning of the year. The standard time off allowed in 15 days and 1-2 floating holidays. The days between Dec 25-Jan 1 are also mandatory off days and do not count towards your earned vacation. Robust pipeline.
Cons
However, there is a large disconnect between the associate level and the scientist level. Very little work-life balance. Though there is an effort to make employees happy, it doesn't seem to be a genuine effort. Management will stab you in the back without a second thought to your well being. There isn't a lot of room for growth if you hold a bachelor's or master's degree.
