Pros

The only positive thing I can think it is the production of generics, but knowing the working culture I would probably choose another label myself. Career opportunities- sure if you want to kill yourself with job and never see your family. Very bad working culture, back stabbing, burn outs, long term sick leaves.

Cons

Bad management, time after time I was surprised how unprofessional they behaved , and I can compare to many larger and international successful companies. They all lack people management skills. They often did not understand on local level the global strategies or procedures that needed to be implemented and there was none support from management on change management. Management blamed employees.The culture will never change because the dudes are protecting and promoting each others in upper positions. Only and only political games, if you choose not to be part of it you loose and are out. If you complain or lift a problem you are very quickly been removed, they buy you out with big money. Back stabbing among employees, if problems you are left alone and everything you said will be used against you. No one dares, cares or have time to help you.Very bad work-life balance, insane deadlines and absolutely no management support. Unfair bonus systems.Objectives are not realistic and are subjectively "evaluated".
