Pros

The medical benefits were great

Cons

Reorganization every 2 to 3 years in the research side. Some areas are hard for career development. Some management who were there for decades are stuck in old culture and not adapting to the new ways of working and supporting employees to evolve.

Pros

Great pay, good benefits Lots of job openings due to qualified people leaving for better opportunities.

Cons

Inept managers and even more inept senior leaders. Keep promoting people based on politics and loyalty and it will be GSK 2009 all over again. Seems like most major decisions are made by throwing a dart at a dartboard - all done without input from the actual people that have to carry out the inane marching orders. The latest sales initiative with the creative moniker, COCO, is a disaster and encourages reps to act in a manner that is different when their managers are not around. Don't expect recognition or promotion if you're not a female and/or minority. Restructuring every 18 to 24 months. Don't expect to keep your same territory or manager.

Pros

401K, health benefits package, respiratory market leader; I stayed for over 20 years and took the buyout during the last layoff. Pension Plan from years ago is also very nice--thank you.

Cons

shrinking pipeline, product marketing is weak, constant restructuring, frequent layoffs, lack of transparency, needless paper pushing and box checking.
