Pros

You will gain exposure to a wide variety of therapeutic areas that will serve you well establishing a career in pharma.

Cons

Expectations and workload not commensurate with the pay. Over a decade of poor management has led to a bureaucratic and operational nightmare in my department. Opportunities for advancement are few and far between. Employees get burned out and end up making lateral moves.
