      Pros

      Well respected in the medical and scientific community. Excellent dedication to doing the right thing to help patients recieve the medications they need even if it meant providing it for free if possible. Very Committed to World Wide Health Care. especially in treatment and elimination of disease in the 3rd world communities....HIV AIDS, Hepatitis, Malaria, elephantisis etc. Agressive research and scientific commitment

      Cons

      Legal & regulatory had too much control over operations. Employee often found out company news or product concerns with the public. Like many large companies employees became more of a number than a colleague ...stress levels placed on all employees is extreemely high 10 on a 1-10

      Pros

      Relatively low pressure work environment, for biotech.

      Cons

      Seemingly every internal service has been outsourced without any attempt to centralize and streamline the access to these services. What employees are left with to accomplish anything is word-of-mouth, old hyperlinks, and direct contact emails for contractors who never stay longer than a year. A third of an employee's time is spent navigating bureaucratic bloat and facing headwinds from contractors who don't care about accountability or quality.
