Pros

Company has a wealth of resources across the organization for all-things pharma. Interesting roster of clients and projects. Ok pay for some.

Cons

Horrible management, culture and performance evaluation practices. Very political, competitive and manipulative environment. Senior leaders don't own the work or BD relationships but get to decide who is promoted / gets to stay on a purely subjective basis. Extremely high level of anxiety day-to-day. If you want to survive you have to work 24/7 and hope you don't get backstabbed, which some do.

Pros

Great company culture, excellent team support, fantastic management at all levels. I especially value the training initiatives that help in the day to day. This is a great place to build skills, especially in AI. Work life balance is emphasized and encouraged.

Cons

It can feel a bit like being a cog in the wheel at times, although good ideas do get the attention of management. Workload can be unrelenting around EOQ. Process "improvement" initiatives are constant, poorly announced, and often make things worse. Raises and bonuses are meager and do not keep up with inflation/market value.
