Where do I start...

Pros

Good benefits. Work / life balance.

Cons

Uses fear-mongering as management tactic. Lack of communication and no accountability at every level of leadership. Uses 'skills enrichment opportunities' as a way to not have to promote or pay you for your extra work. Is known for laying off high earners after decades of company loyalty to keep bottom line down.

Pros

Passionate about bringing innovative and effective drugs to patients.

Cons

Not sure where to start sadly. This is a company that should have been proud of its culture...instead its allowed a very US centric model ‘eat’ in to everything that worked and was managed well. Biggest downfall is lack of integrity and transparency - especially in PD. Trust from employees of 10+yrs service has GONE. HR is shockingly bad too.

Comfortable, but not outstanding

Pros

Good work atmosphere. Encouraging environment, plenty of learning opportunities, participation in the process is encouraged. Medical / Dental / Vision plans are good.

Cons

No 401(k) matching, stingy stock plan. Management asks or expects too much; overtime and/or extra shifts are assumed and extra work is given without consideration for work/life balance. Management is out of touch with front line employees.
