Pros

Good pay for the area, great medical, dental and optical and a 401K matched up to 6%. Just about endless over time by department of course. 5 sick day, 4 personal day and 3 week vacation to start.

Cons

Management is lacking. In some cases if you don't kiss butt, and have big brests you won't be promoted no matter how hard you work. You get guilted when taking anytime off and it's held against you in your review. When working in the influenza department you can't have a life they don't treat you like a person just a number. They expect you to work obserd hours without asking or letting you know with out any notice.

Pros

Good benefits (9% 401k match, company car, solid insurance). Huge company with many therapeutic areas you can choose from. I like my coworkers.

Cons

Employee stock purchase plan is nice in theory, but stock has treaded water for many years. A very big company with lots of big pharma metrics to meet. Pay is maybe slightly below industry average.

Pros

The company has an excellent, very collegial atmosphere. Employees are supported well and there is excellent support for most processes from numerous line functions.

Cons

Some processes as well as the governance structure can be a bit confusing. More so than other large pharma companies. But even with this. There are almost always enough people who know how to get things done.
