Pros

Great pay,work life balance and benefits. Fantastic place to start and continue a career in pharmaceuticals. I would recommend working here.

Cons

Pod selling and your manager can make or break your career. Went through layoffs every other year. Training away from your family can be up to a month when you first start

Pros

Benefits, competitive pay Company cares about work/life balance The new leadership (C level at the very top) seems to care, and is enthusiastic

Cons

A constant cycle or re-organzations have left the IS/IT workforce jaded and demoralized. Morever, over-reliance on outsourcing have decimated critical IT capabilities (but not surprisingly, the politically astute bureacrats continue to survive and prosper in such re-orgs). That along with the mind-numbing bureacracy and a cornucopia of outsourced service providers, has ensured that that the more skilled and creative employees have either left, or volunteered for redundancy. The only people who are really interested is sticking around now are those with big pensions waiting at the end of the line.

Pros

Good pay, benefits. Bonuses every year!

Cons

Proper training in research is lacking and accelerated projects make it more stressful. Open concept office space makes it difficult to be focused and get your work done.
