Company values are good

Pros

Company values are good and the products produced benefit people's lives greatly. People are friendly and there is a strongly defined mission statement. Employees actively pull together as a team when there is an urgent objective to be achieved (eg. delivery of life saving medicines for patients).

Cons

Aggressive targets to cut costs, the removal of some company benefits and the need to cut the workforce by a significant number recently has affected employee morale. Work-life balance can be an issue - especially if working with teams from different time zones (or reporting to supervisors based in a different time zone).
