Pros

What you'd expect from a global large pharma - excellent benefits, broad development opportunities, great working environment, extensive support resources available

Navigation of politics and multiple stakeholders can be a challenge; pharma is an industry undergoing obvious change and this is reflected in frequent reorganization and consolidation
