Pros

Good brand, good HQ location in midtown Manhattan, open to flexible work arrangements

Cons

The company is a big, ever changing mess. Constant turnover at leadership levels, either due to restructuring, layoffs or people leaving makes it very difficult to get traction, either on projects or in professional growth. Just when I felt I had established a rapport with a manager I got a new one and had to start over. Zero emphasis on people development; this is not a culture of managing down, the people who advance are the ones who focus on managing up, even if they ignore their direct reports. If can be almost comical how much time leaders spend jockeying for position against each other rather than collaborating on goals that increase value.

If you are looking for advancement then this is not the company for you. You get trapped into your job title and have very little room for advancement.

Pros

Lots of opportunities to work in a global environment and work with very dedicated people from all over the word.

Cons

Positions are eliminated when people move on to other positions which makes advancement much more difficult in the current environment. Company has been going through a period of constant changes. Loss of several blockbuster drugs makes things more difficult financially.
