Pros

it's a big company which provides plenty of resource you can use or share. The health insurance plan is pretty good, especially all the prescribed drugs are free

Cons

there is no bonus, no stock option and the increase of base salary is less than the inflation rate. it's claimed the base salary is very competitive to the same level at other pharmaceutical company which is a big lie.

Pros

A good amount of remote monitoring, which depending on how you view can be a positive.

Cons

Changing systems and inconsistent standards are applied to people. There are many differing models that often muddy how you are supposed to do your job, especially when other staff members don't quite understand. How do you interface with the changing models? There tends to be a lot of blame and foisting of responsibilities. Sometimes you can become overburdened with a lot of work, where people do not respect your time and think that their tasks should take priority. It is possible to be contacted late at night with work to do and then be criticized the next day for not being able to keep up.
