Pros

The people are top tier and the leadership is strong. A board portfolio of products can give one experience across many therapeutic categories. Strong pay and benefits.

Cons

Despite goal of "transparency," imminent downsizing of divisions due to patent expirations results in increasing employee turnover or "presenteeism." If you have Lyrica or Viagra in your bag, transfer out.
