Pros

World class environment within the Pharmaceutical industry. Lots of growth opportunities for lateral movement. Work life balance good. Working from home a bonus depending on manager. Great benefits and bonus program. Shutdown over the holidays a plus. Competitive salary based on role title. Solid work environment, mostly up on current technology, and good technical infrastructure. Lots of opportunities to take on new work and projects.

Cons

Simplification of roles and movement to low cost resources in other countries (i.e. Poland, India) has become the norm. Lack of opportunity for advancement. Unrealistic yearly objectives based on continually changing priorities, and lack of resources, limit ability to attain better than average annual reviews for better pay and advancement. Short life span for employees that have been with the company over 10 years even though they have deep subject matter expertise.

Pros

Great company to work with.

Cons

Being a developer in an open office environment along mid-management can be a bit of a challenge. Developing websites can be a bit of a challenge in an extremely chatty environment.
