Pros

People honestly want to do a good job. They are a friendly, well educated, and very diverse population. Salary and benefits are above average.

Cons

Don't be fooled by the salary. Bonuses are well below target every year. LTI is only for a preferential inner circle and not based performance or role. Senior management practices top down culture and does not support area leadership. The culture drives more work than is possible and it's punitive when not executed. 12 hour days are expected. Facilities are old, processes even older leading compliance struggles across the board. This is also evident in their global leadership. Site leadership has changed 8 times in 5 years (ops and Quality) leaving a fragmented strategic direction. Constructive dismissal is a common practice.

Pros

Extensive and active employee resource groups, strong leadership development opportunities, clear company mission, gig opportunities that support career development, strong employee support through the ombuds office and compliance help line, and stable company portfolio.

Cons

No work-life balance considerations with hybrid work model, contradictions in company mission compared to policies (i.e., target to reduce carbon emissions with employee commuting to office as one of the top 5 causes but yet still requiring employees to commute to office 3 days a week), some office sites are not conducive to in office productivity (not enough privacy or space), compensation package is not competitive for MA pharmaceutical companies, long-term incentives have almost no value once they are vested, health care benefits require employees to jump through hoops to maximize discounts or qualify for coverage of certain medications, and accountability for department leadership to follow the corporate leadership pillars is inconsistent across departments.
