Pros

Best of both worlds: small enough to be entrepreneurial and nimble, yet part of a large, well established organization (Astra Zeneca). Focused on transforming patients' lives. All scientists I worked with there believed in this mission.

Cons

If you are not a scientist, it may take some time to feel you are a good fit for the company. It happens but it takes time.

Pros

Company car to drive for business and personal use, laptop, decent compensation, prestigious career path, no-carry Rx sales position, fun team to work with,

Cons

Forever shifting Big Pharma industry (i.e. Little to no job security), "Big brother always watches you"---when the industry shifted to electronic marketing pieces, they began tracking and scrutinizing over every single electronic tap---it turned into quite the micromanagement situation, which I was not fond of.
