Pros

Have ideas for bringing good products to market , some for unmet needs of patients. Unfortunately their marketing department and contracting have no clue to current business environments. Ok benefits.

Cons

They are the biggest fraud in the Pharma industry. They purport their vision is all about being the most trusted pharma partner to health care professionals and patients. Bottom line they are strictly about profits, not patients. Deceptive marketing practices unchanged despite paying the Dept of Justice a 3 Billion dollar fine. Their recent downsizing of 2000 employees came after a 2 Billion dollar shortfall in revenue in lead brand Advair due to mistakes made by upper management, contracting and DC herself who was " forced to retire". Cut many senior employees with outstanding top 10% performance rankings and prolonged loyal service. These factors mean nothing to management and HR who were forced to maximize cost cutting. Spending the majority of my 30+ year career there was the worst mistake I have ever made.

Pros

Benefits - 401k and pension, good insurance plans.

Cons

Everything but the benefits. Basically only promotes minorities (the more UNqualified the better, it seems) bullying from some managers and HR does nothing. Not paid on performance. Extremely inconsistent and A LOT of busy work (depends on manager though)

Pros

The people I work with are nice and dedicated, but there are so many leaving / let go due to the JV headcount reduction. I am not sure who will be left.

Cons

The JV restructuring is a mess. Management does not communicate well. Entire departments are gone. It is not clear how this is all going to function. Nothing seems well thought out.
