Pros

good salaries, nothing else ...

Cons

A critic wrote in 2016:”Poor development & training opportunities, management by fear, under staffing, very US centric company, very political. These are always the same "clique" (considered as sufficiently "loyal" to the "cause") who get promoted. You'd better belong to them if you want to develop. Otherwise, search elsewhere...” : this is 100% right. About the development, I do not see what good it makes to pretend to get any development there. Their “cause and development” is just to pretend, to share a big cake, to travel a lot and to spend time chatting and gossiping. Top managers hire and promote their incompetent friends. This place is full with arrogant, hostile and incompetent high managers of poor caliber and poor human values, no lead by example, unfit people ignoring the Pharma industry basics . Lots of potty mouths and proud blabla like in one of the comments down below: “empowerment, best Fortune 500, self driven, leadership...” that hides incompetency of amateurs , too lucky to have been hired there.

Pros

Most of the people are nice, the two yearly company parties are nice. If you have a good manager, you will be fine.

Cons

Company full of politics and processes, they don't care about the employees, no real flexible time if you work in agile, agile is badly implemented in some teams, most of the managers are really bad in their jobs.

Pros

Great place with amazing people, skilled and communicative, global assignments. Perfectly organized, very interactive and open environment. Opportunities to move in different teams and u will LEARN so much!

Cons

I cant think of anything. Love this place. For some people it could be that u actually travel a lot. But even this u just communicate to ur manager and they try their best.
