Pros

Lot of great experience in Global pharma. Very multicultural. European influenced leafership.

Cons

Not enough resources and often working very long hours. Due to acquisition and integration,the company lost really good talented people with exceptional skill set who brought a lot to the table. European influenced leadership often pushes the envelope in product compliance.

Pros

Certain managers are great people. Fantastic way to build your resume. Working with people that recognize what talents you have and then capitalizing on those talents is great. I learned a lot about multitasking as well as chemistry best practices.

Cons

Some stagnation in enthusiasm persistent across the company. I saw many great people leave the company with the merge with Alcon. It is important to remember each individual reaches a point where they cannot proceed up the ladder. Upward mobility was limited and thus many people had to leave the company.
