Avantages
Many talented scientists and hard workers assembled into one organization. Really nice to have. Numerous opportunities to move to different groups to gain experience in molecular diagnostics. Most projects are well funded. If you are in the right group with a good manager morale is generally high. Compensation and benefits very good.
Inconvénients
There are many talented managers at the company. However, promotions tend to be made based political connections with senior managers, resulting in some incompetents being promoted up to higher management positions. Some at director level are down right stupid and have no idea of what they are doing. Some backstabbing helps with promotions as well. The organization is definitely not a meritocracy, with the CEO as the best example.
