Pros

The people you work with and interact with regularly are typically great. People really do work towards the same goal. Benefits are decent and pay is okay (livable but less than other companies).

Cons

There is a huge focus to cut budgets left and right. Management does not appear to know what direction it wants to take and therefore it is always possible that people will be laid off. Managers are often hand off until they can't be and then there is too much micro-management. Life expectancy for Zoetis does not seem long. There is a full expectation that the company will be bought in the next few years or parts will be divested to streamline efforts and budgets. Focus is on money and not colleague engagement. Advancement and movement with in the company is difficult. Merit increases and bonuses are a joke. Must colleagues will not see anything higher than 2.5% increase for meeting expectations. You have to fit everyone into that bell curve.

Pros

401K match, Free tutoring for your kids, Access to Lyra (you'll need it working at this company.

Cons

Terrible management, Toxic culture, A lot of retaliation for expressing negative feedback, don't value their sales reps, 3 years in a row they have apologized and had to revise their targets because they were so off based and people are so unhappy. Ego drives everything at this company and they really have little to be so arrogant about. Mgmt used to having exclusive products and now are spinning their wheels due to more competition. Most good people have left, the remaining are either new hires or haven't found work elsewhere. They really think people should be honored to work there...they will literally tell you this all the time. Pays significanlty below what their competitors pay.
