It is not a good pharmaceutical company.

Pros

It's a 350 years old company.

Cons

It is not a good pharmaceutical company. The management team has been changed for more than 3 years. However, they are not professional and they are not able to lead the company to compete with the real pharmaceutical companies. The working environment has been changed dramatically to a very bad direction. They do not care their employees. It is not a nice place to work. I will definitely not recommend this company to anyone.

Pros

A lot of experience gained quickly

Cons

Ridiculous workload, overtime expectations too high, dysfunctional team who seek to blame new employees for mistakes, bad communication which results in unnecessary mistakes, cliquey atmosphere, supervisor bullies new employees into staying late to complete work of other people, you will be expected to stay after your designated finish time - you will not be asked. Many issues occuring which are blamed on single people as opposed to acknowledging this issue could have been caused by multiple people. Asked to stop and start experiments at unreasonable times. One rule for 'gold star' employees another for the rest.
