Business Outlook

Pros

The company offers an excellent benefits package and work life balance, good opportunities for training. The company spends a lot of time and effort on maximizing the health and wellbeing of its employees. We have reimbursement for healthcare expenses and compensation for completing an annual health risk assessment questionnaire. We frequently are offered training sessions on healthcare topics. We have a generous amount of time off, and the retirment savings plan and medical, dental and vision care can't be beat.

Cons

our site keeps losing employees but rarely replaces them, which puts a heavy burden on the employees at the company.

Business Outlook

Pros

Very dedicated, results-oriented organisation which is working to help improve people's lives. Many people stay with the company for a long time, even their whole careers. Very systematic and thorough performance review and development process; good support for advancement and development. Some international opportunities for certain roles. Compensation is competitive with other similar roles in Pharma or Consumer Healthcare companies.

Cons

Senior management sometimes behaves like an "old-lads club", and the personality cult can overshadow the straightforward focus on results at times. For this reason it can be a frustrating place to work for people who just want to do their job well.
