      Pros

      Well managed company with alot of great talent. An environment that encourages opportunity to contribute and grow both professionally and personally.

      Cons

      1. Since the merger with Schering-Plough, there is greater uncertainty associated to job security.

      Pros

      Good company package. Health insurance, maternity package, good car options for field representatives and option to include dental and life insurance coverage for family at a small monthly cost

      Cons

      Too many "brown-nosers" getting ahead. Too much internal politics. I guess most sales environments are like that. Hard work should be adequately compensated.

      A company with a commitment to ethics and doing the right thing, where you have the opportunity to take initiative.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Very well managed; excellent talent; a strong orientation to process excellence in all disciplines: science, manufacturing, sales and marketing and support services such as finance and IT. A strong commitment to developing people. Managers who are well trained in people management and leadership skills. Good pay and excellent benefits.

      Cons

      The management is very careful in making decisions and bureaucratic. There is not much regard for the value of time or money because the company has had so much success for over thirty years, it rarely feels the pinch. In the US, there are too many people on staff since the merger with Schering Plough, so you can get lost in the shuffle pretty easily.
