Pros

International company, good benefits. Pay scale comparable with other pharma jobs.

Cons

Last year (2015) company decided to stop providing patient support through phone calls and and went with a sales focused approach. All about the shareholders and bottom line. Talked a good game about work/life balance and career advancement but not really available. Day they laid off patient service department, company laid off hundreds of employees across the globe in a "restructuring" move.
