Pros

It`s one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world.It has a big reputation.Since they act selectively while choosing employees you do have sort of prestige.Great benefits for employees and a good salary.They provided breakfast lunch and twice tea time during a day.Wokring hours are short compared to other industries.

Cons

Too bureocratical.Changing an inefficient process is almost impossible.The factory is a bit old, needs some restoration.They don`t care much about the interns.Interns arent allowed to take and responsibility, therefore they dont let you to try and explore much.

Pros

Nice to be able to work for a company that develops and sells such an important product. We enhance the quality of life and treat conditions that are to the benefit of people and this is a very, very compelling reason to work in this area. Good co-workers and the proper equipment to do your job.

Cons

Large company with strong competition from generics. Generics have the potential to erode profits in the future and this is stressful for current employees who often wonder what will happen when patents expire. There are layoffs and consolidation that does not help morale and can be demoralizing.

Pros

- Expectations of your work and responsibilities are very clear from the very beginning. - Managers trust and respect your abilities but expect high quality work of you. They do not micro manage and total independence is given for you to complete the assigned tasks. - Work life balance is promised and well delivered. Female employees, especially working mothers are given the flexibility to job share, flexible working hours, as well as optional day-off during the week (for example, work 10 hours from Monday to Thursday and take Friday off). Also, they are given the options to work from home, which is a bonus!

Cons

- The company's always changing (mergers and acquistion), so job security is a question here.
