Business Outlook
Pros
Very smart colleagues, rigorous atmosphere, decent access to resources, no more red tape than your average mega-corp.
Cons
Lots of layoffs, all the time. It becomes very difficult to avoid cynicism when all the happy-talk from Bourla on down about how valued you are, how vital your mission, how very life-changing to patients it all is when counterbalanced by the experience of rolling layoffs and abandonment of entire therapeutic areas. If you're fortunate, you can last a long time and make a good living. But make no mistake: Your number may come up a lot sooner than you anticipate, and when it does, it's all cold, hard business. Don't get attached, and keep your resume fresh.
