Pros

My superior was great and inspiring. Great place to work. Able to go back on time most of the time. Management set a side budget for company wide team building. Informal celebration of certain family days in an attempt for worklife balance.

Cons

Too many con calls during off office hour. Constant cost cutting.

Pros

Great people to work with and excellent compensation package from Base Salary, Bonus Structure, Company Car, 401K, Health Benefits, and Vacation time.

Cons

The Company Culture has changed a great deal since Novartis has taken over and it's not nearly as fun to work there. Several good people have been forced out and the Sales Divisions have been somewhat stagnant over the past couple of years.
