Pros

- One of the top pharmaceutical companies in the world - MNC - Incentives are great if you hit your own sales target

Cons

- Management all over the place - Superficial corporate values - No teamwork in the team that I am in, lack of the "one team spirit" - Office politics where it often leads you to doing the job on your own

Business Outlook

Pros

Fair base pay Many opportunities, personal growth Company strongly promotes ethics and culture

Cons

Management and organizational structure is frequently changing through continuous transformation. If you are a person who doesn't take change well, this is not a company for you. A global player with very much US centric leadership model, which limits the decision making based on US reality and doesn't consider aspects of other regions.
