Pros

good if you want to work in the pharmaceutical world, however they hire based on the "good ole boy" system, where you need to know someone inside, or be "appealing" as a woman, to be hired. Very much not a fun place to work

Cons

see the pros.....they don't really care about their employees, they'll send around emails once a month from the CEO gloating about how much money the company made that month, versus how little you make..

Great benefits, terrible leaders

Pros

Really good benefits. I thought the pay was very good or the industry. Very challenging work.

Cons

They promote people to leadership positions who are terrible leaders. Managers and project managers who are terrible to their direct reports or people working on their projects. It's the most cutthroat place I've ever worked. Incredible favoritism. Completely demoralizing.

Pros

Keeps you busy and interested. People are very friendly and open to questions. Their new employee training is excellent.

Cons

I wish the pay would be better. I have a graduate degree and I'm earning well below the national average.
