      Pros

      Pension. Trying to make more competitive with other pharma companies with respect to culture. Most everyone who works here is very dedicated to ensuring our patients always get their medicines of the best quality. Our overall values as a company are usually always aligned amongst colleagues.

      Cons

      Beauracracy. Senior management says working level should feel empowered to make decisions but middle management needs to know all and causes ineffective and lagging decisions. Too much focus on advancing certain groups of people such that the best candidate for the job often is not the one selected when weighed against meeting a particular metric. Friends who have left the company usually get a 20% pay bump. Unwritten expectations in a lot of departments is to work long hours (nights, early days, weekends, holidays, vacations).
