Pros

In the Research realm, the resources and scientific capabilties were extraordinary. At the La Jolla site, the legacy of scientific integrity survived for a number of years beyond the acquisition by Pfizer but suffered in recent years.

Cons

The quality of the decision-making at the site governance and global leadership levels was abysmal. New strategies were paraded out with great fanfare and then abandoned within a year or two simply because a new guy took over at the top.

Pros

A good amount of remote monitoring, which depending on how you view can be a positive.

Cons

Changing systems and inconsistent standards are applied to people. There are many differing models that often muddy how you are supposed to do your job, especially when other staff members don't quite understand. How do you interface with the changing models? There tends to be a lot of blame and foisting of responsibilities. Sometimes you can become overburdened with a lot of work, where people do not respect your time and think that their tasks should take priority. It is possible to be contacted late at night with work to do and then be criticized the next day for not being able to keep up.
