IT - Some good, lots bad

Pros

Completely depends on location/team as its so inconsistent across the board. Benefits are pretty good, salary is benchmarked across locations/industries. If you're a "rising star" type of talent, good L&D opportunities. DEI is fantastic and refreshing to see a company not just making noise about but really showcasing their policies.

Cons

Only speaking from my own experience (Global IT), it has got so politically charged where people will do anything to progress in the littlest possible way, no matter who gets in their way. Career progression within the UK is non-existent, at the time of writing there are no senior roles based in the UK and nothing done to make UK colleagues feel included without travelling to Paris where all decisions are made informally. The mandated hybrid policy needs some flexibility for global roles instead of sitting in an office by yourself.

Pros

Strong employee focus and great initiatives on diversity and inclusion. Everyone is very committed to their work and success is acknowledged. There are some highly skilled staff and it can be very rewarding to work with such colleagues.

Cons

A high level of commitment is required. If you love your job, you will fit right in!

Pros

- Combines best bits of small and large pharma on the whole; agile working and constant communication between functions is really strong. - Leaders are all approachable and easy to work with all the way up to the GM. - Development discussions are constant which is good for those who want it too. - A lot of evidence to show willingness to improve through working groups and feedback etc.

Cons

- Pipeline isn't the strongest however is a big focus for improvement which is good.
