Pros

The pay is great. Benefits are great.

Cons

Employee morale is in the toilet. Management does not care about people below them -- they only care about people above them. There is no fairness nor respect for people which is made worse somewhat by upper management pretending that they care.

Pros

Management skills are so lacking that even an average manager could look like a Star compared to the existing leadership.

Cons

While the company was reaping the benefits of huge cash flow from its acquired drug pipeline it could get away with the underinvestment in leadership /management skills development. Not that the party is (almost) over, the firm is not equipped to handle the challenges ahead. Poor leadership and resistance / inability to change may have doomed this company.
