      Great Pay... But no play

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Great Pay Good benefits (no better or worse than other fortune 500s) Career movement and advancement is forced so you always get new experience Offices with available space contain things such as daycare, dry cleaners, coffee kiosk Easily accessible system offsite, so you can work at home Always upgrading systems/process

      Cons

      No work/life balance - you are never off (you work till 10pm to midnight, on vacations and weekends) and you will get an e-mail at 1 am and they expect a response by the time you walk in at 8 am Always buying other companies and laying workers off Job instability - performance has nothing to do with whether you are promoted, layed off or moved Leaders lead by fear... (Do not challege their decisions in front of others) No pipeline products (internal freshness index - nill)

      It was a great opportunity to learn how to adapt in an ever changing R&D environment within the pharmaceutical industry.

      Pros

      - The opportunity to discover and develop new medicines . - Generally, highly committed colleagues who had a real passion about the work they do.

      Cons

      - There never seemed to be enough time allowed to see the results of the changes that were implemented. The cycle time is long within this industry, yet significant changes in the research strategy seemed to occur on a 18 month cycle.
