Poor Leadership in Pharma Sales group

Pros

Many hard workers and people who truly care about the business and each other. Time off is good and great company match with 401K. If you are in the field life balance is great, if you are in home office, not so much.

Cons

Company is starting to favor external candidates over developing talent within. Lack of leadership and too many bad decisions, and focused agendas have driven the pharma group into the ground.

Pros

good pay and work life balance. Nice opportunity for "diverse candidates" who are "yes" men and women.

Cons

big pharma is a mess, leadership is a joke. Alcon used to welcome diverse opinions, but not anymore.
