Pros

Salary and benefits are good (for Cambridge), but are not worth the cost to mental and physical health and wellbeing.

Cons

Work/life balance is non-existent and bullying is commonplace, even within the HR department (shocking and disappointing), The most toxic culture I have had the misfortune to experience so far in my 20 year professional life. The irony is they make medicines that help improve, even save people's lives, but as a company they do not care about the wellbeing of their staff.
