Pros

Medical was a great place to work. The team atmosphere was wonderful, even with the vast geographies. Annick and Lidia were a pleasure to report to. They were supportive of all ideas and really went to bat for the MSLs at senior management meetings.

Cons

The firewall between Medical and Marketing/sales, although necessary, made some aspects of doing business difficult. The lack of communication between the silos was frustrating when it came to dealings with customers.
