Lot of great science happening at this company if you can get onto the right team. There are a lot of opportunities.

Business Outlook

Pros

Opportunities for professional growth within a given department, great benefits package/pension plan, in general corporate culture promotes a team-based environment.

Cons

All of the Pros above exists in most departments but not all. So sorry. If you are interviewing for a position at this company ask clever questions to get an idea of the culture and management style of the department. Changing of upper management can grossly affect the culture of a department. The opportunities to move about internally will come around with the constant reorganization but only then. Change is the only constant (which is necessary for survival in this industry) so you will have to learn to accept the change.
