      Good Learning Experience but Time to Move on

      Pros

      good place for a newbie to learn the ropes, training and mentoring system needs work but you won't get fired for having no idea what you're doing and ppl are usually nice enough to help when you ask

      Cons

      extremely below standard salary, bonuses have been suspended, you have to fight to move up or out of a department and even then you still may be kept stagnant, extremely cliqueish...

      Pros

      Very high growth, center of the pharma industry. It's fantastic as a company. Good benefits. International profile, opportunties to work with people around the globe.

      Cons

      Overwork-- they "own" your time, any time, any place. Very "corporate." Politics governance, cliqueish culture. Limited promotional prospects. Communication is by the grapevine. I literally used to get memos about major changes that said "by now you must have heard..." in the first communication about the subject.
