Pros

Decent pay, especially for an early career. Global leadership is awesome and has somehow managed to keep bonuses alive (except they get sued by hundreds of government agenices for fraud and lose almost all of them, but that was mostly previous leadership).

Cons

Local SLC QCmanagement disappeared for 2 years during covid. Things got more productive due to a lack of interference in the lab. After management returned lab quality and turnaround time got worse. Management is good at taking credit for others accomplishments and even better at deflecting responsibility for failures and throwing subordinates under the bus. Equipment is falling apart, and facilities are in disrepair. 30% of workforce has been laid off in last 5 years, so expect to accomplish at least 1.3 jobs each week in an already demanding 50+ hours/week industry with bizarre and complicated new product launches. Management will try to brainwash you with 'this product makes a difference' but its honestly just acne creams and testosterone patches. High turnover (25-35%ish per year). Overt racism and religious discrimination. You will overhear racial slurs. 60% of department is LDS but no LDS leadership. Longer tenured employees are toxic and aren't productive. Lots of new positions and titles and bonuses at the top, but few at the bottom. QC is the worst and most toxic, other departments in SLC are okay.

Pros

There are some very nice people working here as well as some great products.

Cons

Teva is constantly restructuring with a ridiculous number of reorganizations that make people very nervous and that drives attrition. When the new CEO came on board, many top executives left, some by choice and some not. That was followed by a lot of job elimination for people based on areas of the world where salaries tend to be very high. Subsequent hiring has been in regions of the world where it is cheap to hire people. In some cases, Teva has laid off older, very experienced individuals in order to higher younger, less experienced and therefore less expensive people. Teva is also willing to take the risk of doing things that are unethical in order to cut staff, hoping that they won't sue the company. The increases in stock price isn't because the company is doing better, it's because they are trimming costs as much as possible.
