Pros
Good reference for next job, providing great opportunity for learning about innovative pharma, most people are nice. Good access to training, competitive intelligence info, systems, processes, product information, good networking opportunities.
Cons
Slim resources in support functions vs high expectations of what you should deliver, issues with systems and reporting resulting in poor work life balance. Disconnect between instructions, deadlines, always getting everything last minute, with short time to turn things around, while expecting excellence and thoroughly analyzed error free deliverables. There is no option to provide upward feedback and any attempt to resolve issues through HR result in actions which are unfavorable towards person complaining. Compliance standards are high only in procedures and policies, in reality you are criticized or discriminated if you don’t turn the blind eye from time to time.
