      Pros

      Payment and benefits are the only thing that is worth as they pay for your silence and this is expensive considering a lot of things you get to discover for unethical procedures with products and manufacturing.

      Cons

      Unethical issues with pharma products are hidden because of fear and lack of integrity with consumers. Employees are a means to an end, no genuine interest in caring for them. You always feel like walking on a thin layer of ice, in every moment it can get broken and none will help you to survive. Mobbing belongs to the working culture, thus is allowed despite compliance claims. It is like working on a time bomb with a huge chance to explode in every second. It is a matter of time.

      Pros

      Pays well, potentially lots of opportunities to travel or re-locate. Has the many Benefits of a larger company - if you have worked for a small lean company you might be surprised at the amount of time off, generosity of bonuses, training, etc.

      Cons

      Nothing happens fast, entrenched in bureaucracy. So large that it is easy to be overlooked if you want to be rewarded for your creativity, or accomplishments. In the German offices, this is a white, male dominated corporate culture. Maybe less so elsewhere, not particularly "welcoming".
