Pros

None. They hired me and closed down the place in less than 3 month. To move a family and house to be made redundant for a site closure is not very nice.

Cons

> IT is less than optimal > poor stats and clinical trial set up > poor practice in study design

Pros

Best work life balance exist which truly is rewarding to a smart and hard working professional

Cons

Employees who hardly are above and beyond in their job roles are rewarded and recognized. Strong bias exist while employing people for an internal rotation, potential candidates with better credibility are not duly considered for job opportunity.

Pros

Compensation is average for industry and company size

Cons

Constant turf wars between departments; Basel and USA, German, British , French, etc who stay in power and treat people by "ours" and not. Harsh treatment of colleagues, bureaucracy out of this world, incompetence.
