Business outlook
Pros
Great pay, benefits and facilities. Bicycle culture is prevelant (Amgen sponsors a big bike race in CA) and people are technically competent. Management is results oriented and driven to succeed.
Cons
Communication must follow rigid rules of hierarchy. Culture encourages tattling. Policy is king - rigid enforcement of niggling rules is the norm (eg, lab coats in lab - even for short visits, etc.). Office space is limited and even exec. directors have only small ones.
