Pros

Innovative drugs, lots of resources, good benefits and pay, concerts, gifts, Apple technical devices rather than Windows computers. Excellent pipeline.

Cons

One's experience is highly variable depending on your job, whether you are a contract employee and your manager. Employee concerns not always taken seriously.

Pros

Great medical dental vision benefits. Good 401k. The cheapest premium medical plan i have ever seen. My son and I were covered for less then $40 a month.

Cons

The type of place others will step on you to get ahead. People that work here, this is their forst job out of college and they dont have alot of experience working with different types of people. People here will back stab you just to get a promotion.

Pros

Great place to work. Can get intense during launch of new products or line extensions. Management cares about employees and takes care of them. The ho-ho's are lot of fun and good way to decompress after a long week. Lots of opportunities to train and get better in various areas. Relentless focus on who the company serves- patients.

Cons

May be cost of living adjustment can get better. Certain groups can be really hard to get into. Interviews can be intense and very competitive with so many super smart colleagues.
