Pros

1. Great WLB 2. Amazing Colleagues 3. Great benefits

Cons

1. Constant restructure. People always left with anxiety around job security 2. If you are not in a external facing role (sales, commercial, medical) you will never be valued and can be laid off out of the blue 3. Very flat org structure. So you will always wonder your growth opportunities
