Pros

The Company offers a free counciling service to employees. There is a large take up of this due to working conditions that verge on intolerable yet remain within employment law.

Cons

Incompetent senior managers. Cottage industry made of performance management. Yet no budget available to reward high performers. Lost the focus on science. Hare brain scheme to relocate R&D to Cambridge. Wasted lots of money.

Pros

This job was my first job out of college and I couldn't have asked for a better company. I was introduced to corporate America, the pharmaceutical industry, and also gained amazing experience being a sales rep. Great coaching and training. The benefits are amazing and you can't beat the work/life balance. The company genuinely cares about their employees and is always checking in to make sure that we have what we need to succeed and be happy. Love working here.

Cons

The only con I can think of is lack of personal development. Being in sales, you continue to do the same thing and say the same thing for years to come. Even if you get promoted, you still essentially have the same responsibilities.
