Pros

Good name to have on the CV, learn about pharma politics game-of-thrones

Cons

They make a point of no jerks because there are plenty of them. Constant layoffs result in a toxic competitive environment where your hiring manager is paranoid you will replace him so he silos you, steals your ideas and bad mouths you in front of the team. His manager is paranoid that he will replace him so you will then be used as ammunition. So so so incredibly stressful. Morale is low. Headless chickens who would otherwise be really smart and can do great things.

Pros

Coworkers are excellent to work with. Management is confident in its decisions, which inspires employee confidence. Workplace culture encourages personal growth and teaching and helping others. Management encourages people to go back to school, and many managers act as mentors with the genuine goal of helping others advance through their careers and lives.

Cons

As with any big corporation (especially corporate pharma) wading through red tape can sometimes appear to get in the way. However, proper documentation and all of this, "red tape," is a necessity when IP rights and people's health is on the line.
