Pros

Large, diverse multinational company with excellent benefits package. New York headquarters is full of international colleagues and very stimulating at all times.

Cons

Company faces revenue challenges with loss of patent exclusivity for key products. Frequent changes in structure require adaptability. Repeated takeovers of other large companies (Warner Lambert, Pharmacia, Wyeth) meant frequent staff reductions.
