Pros

Some smart and competent people, good stock comp and salary for non-bay area folks

Cons

Political and chaotic. Depending on the department it can be toxic. Definitely not patient centric and lawsuit heavy. Had an article written about it on anti-competitive behavior and is currently suing the FDA. Disorganized and has reorganized multiple times over the last few years with no change management. Lack of change management has led to a lack of clarity around responsibilities and accountabilities and lots of politics. I’ve never been at a company before where so many process projects have just faded away.

Cons

At times understaffed, but contractors usually available to fill gaps Experience depends on your manager Elimination of roles due to frequent reorgs

Pros

Benefits - that's it. That's why they lay off employees receiving benefits and replacing them with low paying contractors from other countries outside the US.

Cons

Always laying off; they aquire other companies or formulations and then have layoffs consistantly a few times a year. They are very heavy on laying off long standing employees and replacing them with cheap labor contractors from countries like Poland and Romania because those people accept lower wages. Jazz is all about money - bottom line - no matter what that they claim they do this for patients.
