Pros

It's a good international community with smart people. Good place to learn how to deal with various people from different countries.

Cons

I hope they could treat interns more innovative and motivative way. It could give them great impression on this company. The HR system should be improved

Pros

Good professional opportunities for those willing to be flexible in working hours and schedule. Great travel opportunities to Europe, Asia, etc

Cons

Long hours, commute. Long, drawn out safc integration has left several departments and project initiatives in apparent limbo. Morale has taken a dip while restructuring has dragged on

Pros

Good tradition of the company. Good quality of products and previously, biotech products were advanced and innovative. Wide portfolio in some therapeuthic areas.

Cons

Rigid structure and the lack of innovative ideas for new drugs. Although the market today in some therapeutic areas has much stronger competition from new drugs or cheaper competition from biosimilars, management have unrealistic sales expectation in some countries.
