Pros

-Great athletic / recreational facilities. Good company-wide intramural sport support -Great work-life balance. 35 hr work weeks and half day Fridays, can leave after lunch

Cons

-Resistance to change due to lack of budgeting allocated to projects and strict quality/safety controls -Difficult to measure and predict impact of work and projects due to the nature of highly documented and regulated manufacturing, lack of accomplishment at the end of the day

Pros

Great pay and benefits - by far the best I've come across, compared to other industries. Friendly people. Collaborative work environment.

Cons

Not much talent. Was surprised to see people with such limited knowledge and skills. So, was not able to learn much from my colleagues. A lot of "dead" weight and lazy employees who do as little as possible and are able to get away with it. Not much opportunity in Philadelphia vs RTP or London.
