      Pros

      Big company with a lot of divisions. Ok benefits but continue to cut them.

      Cons

      Senior management is clueless. I feel like it is the NBA coaching carousel. Continue to promote senior managers that destroy divisions.

      Great experience, disappointing I can't make a bigger impact

      Pros

      Compensation is extremely competitive. I was involved in the execution, and at times the planning, of a lot of the changes since I joined the company. There is a tremendous wealth of talent and innovation beyond R&D deployed to sincerely make in impact to alter the course of human disease across the globe. I believe, the CEO is sincerely attempting to broaden access to healthcare solutions.

      Cons

      Organizational changes, lead candidate selection, and business continuity has increased positional stagnation and decreased employee development. "The strongest fish will jump." I can appreciate the need to reduce the fix cost structure to improve working capital, however the ones who define the new org structure are the true change targets. Not the employees who execute the strategy exquisitely.
