Pros

Good pay and benefits. Summer hours and Christmas break are nice. Solid company financially. Travel business class regardless of level.

Cons

Senior managers (SVP level) are amateurs trying to act like brilliant business strategists. Promotions and opportunities are based on how much you kiss up to those "brilliant strategists". They are like a wolf pack and frequently turn on their own members.

Pros

Always had good products to sell and promise of more to come.

Cons

I was a long term employee with a good track record. I got laid off with only 11 months to go before I was eligible for lifetime benefits (with Novartis paying for 80% of the cost).
