Pros

Product Portfolio at one time was outstanding. Scale and ability to attract talented Scientists and Clinicians were also a benefit. Each research site was told that your ability to deliver on portfolio was critical to the site's viability.

Cons

Frequent site closures and lack of ability to focus on a single 'game plan' certainly dampened much of the enthusiasm & luck needed to deliver NDAs. The rate of in-licensing attrition was nearly as poor as development of 'in-house' candidates (many phase III pfailures). Retention of talented Scientists has also become more difficult as everyone counts the months until atorvastatin's patent expires.

Pros

A good amount of remote monitoring, which depending on how you view can be a positive.

Cons

Changing systems and inconsistent standards are applied to people. There are many differing models that often muddy how you are supposed to do your job, especially when other staff members don't quite understand. How do you interface with the changing models? There tends to be a lot of blame and foisting of responsibilities. Sometimes you can become overburdened with a lot of work, where people do not respect your time and think that their tasks should take priority. It is possible to be contacted late at night with work to do and then be criticized the next day for not being able to keep up.
