Pros

Pay was good. Benefits good. There were a lot of opportunities to move within the company if you knew the right people.

Cons

Always changing directions. Can't keep good people. Focus of company changes so often that it is hard to be consistently successful even if you do what is asked of you. Quotas often unattainable.

Pros

Overall I would say it is good place to work. There are very interesting people, very good atmosphere. Good salary and overall compensation.

Cons

Knowledge culture and self improvement are not important for many. Visible lack of passion, 'just a job' attitude. Career development limited in some departments.

Pros

- solid, stable, respectable company - friendly, yet professional corporate environment - career development and advancement is encouraged - generous health care and retirement benefits (which most U.S. companies no longer provide) - generous vacation, sick day and personal day allowances - good morale among employees - challenging and interesting work - good feedback provided on work performance and goals - long-term loyalty among many employees - promote from within (many senior managers started out in entry-level positions) - opportunity to work alongside and learn from very bright and skilled people - company puts their money where their mouth is, in terms of community service and charitable giving; they do a lot of good for the community/environment and encourage employees to do the same

Cons

- can be difficult to get foot in the door (some positions are initially hired as temp workers) - corporate red tape (typical of many companies this size) and being in an FDA-regulated industry means change is slow to occur, and processes can become bogged down/inefficient.
