Pros

The flexible work hours and the salary are the best parts. They try to be fair to their employees but the company is too big.

Cons

The management needs serious revamping. It is a good old boys club where women are not given the opportunities they should be given.

Pros

benefits are exemplary--they do make the effort to retain good employees when they're not downsizing.

Cons

Major silos between departments that should be working together. The company is as much a sales driven company as it is innovation-driven, which means they have great recognition programs for sales but not so much for the rest of the company. Not much growth for administrative support , associate-level and some manager positions. Poor middle management--very cliquish.

Pros

Good salary and benefits. Great facilities. It is the largest pharma company in the world so it has clout. If you do your job and the luck of the draw have a good manager, you'll go places.

Cons

Your advancement depends on who your manager is and who you know. Some mangers are totally incompetent and some are extremely competent. Now that the industry has no block buster drugs, the pendulum is swinging extremely to the other side. Extremely is the key word here. It seems there's over reaction all over the place.
