      Pros

      Great place to get experience and develop leadership. There is alot of opportunity to take on additional responsibility, help team

      Cons

      Every year responsibilities increased but pay raises decreased. Promotions stagnant and bar for bonuses raised higher and higher. Change occurs every year.

      Pros

      Superb colleagues, excellent drug development programs, amazing legacy, competitive compensation, institutional knowledge still high, excellent corporate citizens, overall management has very good intentions

      Cons

      patent cliff led to panicked decision making, under the heel of Wall Street, post Schering merger led to period of profound consolidation and ultimately down-sizing...few opportunities for professional growth, lacking a clear emerging markets strategy....China still seems like a mystery to upper management
