Pros

Work Life Balance, Good Pay and Benefits, Great People. Overall good corporate mission, drug portfolio, and research work. The review cycle and process for career development are robust and flexible with many ways to move around the organization. Great place to learn and experiment with ideas and technology.

Cons

Company is very fragmented by divisions and small departments with silos of managers. There is very little sharing between silos or groups for resource or information so there are lots of redundant people and work being done. Difficult relationship of R&D with PGS (manufacturing) hinders efficient development progress and timelines. Many groups would greatly benefit from a lean approach to design and for manufacturing for higher efficiency.

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.
