Pros

The Salary and the bonus are highly motivating, the R&D pipe is one of the best in the Pharm Industry. We felt accountable for our deliverables

Cons

The worload is too high. There is no time to anticipate the next steps and no time at all for innovation. The work-life balance is not well balanced and the pressure is difficult to support.
