Business Outlook

Pros

Expanding division. Products don't have expiry like other divisions. Company is very active in making the workplace better. Working for the largest pharmaceutical company can have its perks.

Cons

Very "good old boy". Promotion is about who you know not necessarily skills. Unconscious bias/intentional bias is definitely an issue. Minimal women/minority's in upper management.

Business Outlook

Pros

Free car, health insurance, stress management training, first hand view of poor leadership qualities, annual 1% raise, form a tight bond with your co-workers through shared hatred of company and management

Cons

Constant reorganization, zero pipeline, poor management, mantra is be glad you have a job, will retaliate against employees, forced everyone to sign a document agreeing to arbitration thereby preventing disputes over illegal policies/actions to be brought to light through the judicial system

Due to the way the raise in pay format is layed out it is hard to get pay increases, based on fellow co employees to determine if you should receive pay increase
