Pros

- Great peers cross-functionally who are more than willing to help and collaborate - Extremely capable and smart people across the board - Benefits are good (Medical, PTO, 401k)

Cons

Very top heavy - There are more people managing work than people actually doing the work. Expected long hours, low compensation, low morale, no encouragement from management. Regulatory Affairs has had a 40% turnover rate - people are unhappy but management continues to turn a blind eye to the fact. There is always more work to be done, expectations to meet and a continued lack of appreciation for accomplishments. Good luck getting promoted - what's the point anyways when everyone continues to leave? In all honesty, there are better options out there in the Bay Area. Explore them.
