      Pros

      They provide great benefits. There are many different areas of the company to work in and move too if you aren't satisfied with your current position. It was a great place to learn different areas of the pharmaceutical business from marketing, product development to manufacturing. The former Glaxo facilities were nice places to work while the former Burroughs buildings were very old.

      Cons

      The company is going through major restructuring (ie downsizing). They tend to promote people who are good at doing the work to be the manager of the department. Those individuals tend to be inadequate managers. They used to have a technical track to allow individual contributers to be promoted and move ahead, however, it was dissolved.

      Good company that is going through a tough market in pharmaceuticals

      Pros

      The company has a good pay and benefits package with above average vacation and holidays. The position I am at allows a lot of learning opportunities. Currently, there are attempts to streamline the office setting (ie. meetings) and production oriented.

      Cons

      The company is large and getting anything completed quickly is very tedious. Each employee is expected to complete multiple tasks (2-3 jobs on average). I guess this is the trend in the industry today. Some of the senior management at the site could improve on their leadership skills and focus on supporting their employees more. Some focus is lost on producing product efficiently due to all of the politics.
