Pros

Big name company in the pharma field Lots of training chances and materials if you are willing to learn nice office and location

Cons

bad cafe foods tasks over-predefined and no more room to apply advanced programming skills doing some silly programming jobs most of the time by just clicking the buttons with minimum debugging info too many TC, especially early morning TC for employee in USA some first-line managers are really bad at managing people, always discouraging or distracting their hardworking employee even when they got a task done with surprisingly good results. Maybe those managers are pessimistic and under pressure thus make the team as unhappy as her/him

Pros

The benefits are good so far just like any other company

Cons

Terrible managers Employees are getting away with traveling without using PTO when they are on EDO because they are friends with managers. This raises concerns regarding fairness, policy compliance, and equitable treatment of employees. If the manager dont like you, Your life will be hell and they will find the stupidest mistakes to kick you out. Again, some people get away of not using their pto and they will travel and claim they are working while manager is okay with it. Bunch of hypocrites
