Pros

Great company to work if you have not previous pharma experience. The company offers a really good training and its reputation with healthcare providers is very good in general, despite the overwhelming number of reps calling on them.

Cons

Super conservative company that seems to be afraid to take the lead even though they have some of the best drugs out there. "If the speed limit is 70 mph, they like to go at 55 mph" quote from one of the company speakers. Life/work balance it's a joke. Oh, watch out speaking your mind.

Pros

Good people, good products, good plans for the future.

Cons

The industry in general is at a critical time in history right now. There are alot of changes coming in the health care industry, which will continue to result in Pharma company layoffs. You should look very closely at your states political environment before getting into this type of job. Either way, don't look to this industry to be one to retire from as people could in the past. It's become a job of the moment, not of the future.

Pros

AZ was by far the best company I have worked for with regards to work-life balance and benefits

Cons

Accomplishments are not enough. It is a very political environment. Your day-to-day work will not be valued unless you are making people aware of what you do on a regualr basis.
