Pros

Pharmaceuticals was the best job I ever had. I was hired in 1999....and, laid off last month. I was always treated well during my tenure, and, sad I was laid off.

Cons

The industry has changed dramatically over the years...sadly, it is circling the drain...massive layoffs everywhere in big Pharma...hence, the layoff....3500 in the last 2 years.

Cons

Bureaucracy A 'very poor' HR organization Inconsistent approach to managing change across divisions
