Pros

Company provides very good pay and benefits (additional holidays, very good travel policy, modern facilities on site like gym, cafe, small shop, laundry, etc.). Employees from all parts of the world, most of them very friendly and helpful. Networking opportunities.

Cons

An health economics senior specialist is not a senior manager (and it's very difficult -impossible- to be promoted to senior manager). Very subjective appraisal, depending on the Director you report to. In the middle of integration process of external products, a pretext to fire people and freeze promotions. Some people are very toxic, don't realize they work for a company, for saving lives of people and not for themselves or not in a university.

Pros

if you do your job well, no one will hound you or micro manage. it is a very solo job and can get repetitive. fun departmental and site wide activities planned.

Cons

cannot participate in all activities because contractors cannot be treated or "rewarded" or included as employees. Very hard to get hired on.
