Pros

There really are tons of opportunities. As an intern, you have committees and subgroups, you meet a lot of people, and make a lot of contacts. People want you to succeed, and are supportive of you exploring around. All the poeple I've worked with and have met have been extremely motivated and intelligent. Dublin is a great place.. very close to Columbus, but far enough away that your not downtown or anything. There is a mall very close, and great places to eat, and cute places to live. The cost of living in Columbus is very low, very nice. So you don't have to worry about that. Interns are paid very well.

Cons

The only thing is lack of organization! It seems that there is a lot of rework.. and when you start.. forget about having your desk set up. You will be working for at least a full week without a computer... this has happened to me twice and to at least 5 others that I know, in varying levels of the company. I also think your experience is dependent on your manager as well. I had a great manager first who made my experience amazing. However, I had a friend in a different group, and she dreaded coming to work each day.

Pros

A mostly flexible working attitude.A generally friendly atmosphere within departments.

Cons

There are many! The chief gripes are that salaries being appreciably lower than uk and regional average. Limited career progression. Lack of quality benefits and very poor pay increases which do not reflect the effort, skills, experience and qualifications of the staff (particularly for those not at management level!). When researched it can be found that the average salaries at the Romford site are now in line with that of the uk pharma average from over 10 years ago!

Pros

Lots of variety. Something different every day. Fast pace. You receive lots of on the job experience. Amazing opportunities to get solid experience early in your career. Once you start working for Cardinal, they're very open to you moving into new departments. Lots of opportunity to network. Generous plan for taking time away from work. Growing number of mentoring programs.

Cons

Stressful environment. Aggressive culture. Low employee morale. Politics. Lack of infrastructure. Long hours. Expection is that you're always on or accessible. Lots of time in meetings with little time to do work. Pressure to do more with less.
