Pros

This place had the best benefits of any place that I could ever want to work at. Great place for learning and development (I had an opportunity to work with many things while I was there). Some of the employees there were great mentors for my personal career growth.

Cons

Extremely poor management which led to very high turnover. There was constant restructuring and reorganization which is why I had a new manager every single year it seemed. Many employees get "pigeon holed" with the constant reorganizations. Very little room for career advancement in the company. Offered employees lots of time off but then never gave the time with which to take it.

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.
