Pros

Job offers flexibility. A free car and gas. Speciality looks good on resume. Some people that work there are nice.

Cons

Company is tail spinning out of control. Goals get higher, bonuses get lower. New drugs are nothing but patent plays.

Opportunities galore. Benefits. Leader in healthcare segment.

Cons

In some areas, people-based processes, accompanying stone-age tools, and an unaccountable org-structure, and some employees have not been exposed to anything else and/or are not incentivized to innovate.
