Pros

Good pay, health cover, pension, great cameraderie amongst co-workers and immediate team leaders.

Cons

Unrealistic expectations. Too few staff which mean some staff end up working 16 hour days to meet targets. The last time I checked that was against the law. Aggressive mercenary style management who stay for two or three years, bully everyone and then leave for another company with more experience added to their CV. Lots of miserable employees tied to the company by the golden handcuffs of the pay and benefits. You would be better off working somewhere else that is less stressful for less money. Note to any new college graduate: Start working somewhere else when you finish college as this place would put you off working for life. Find somewhere where you can utilise your creative talents rather than be worked to the bone in order to line the pockets of rich shareholders.

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.
