Pros

Some pleasant individuals. Pay is good. Good onsite facilities. Generally good physical environment Lots of techno-toys to play with

Cons

Highly political. Insular and conservative pharma long-termers. Insane number of pointless meetings. Lots of time wasted for no good reason. Brainwashing. Bit middle-brow. Don't expect too much intellectual stimulation.

Business Outlook

Pros

Old company with decent pay. Steady employer. If you screw up - they will still keep you on a lower performance pay but will not take proactive steps to do anything!

Cons

Dog eat dog world in the Corporate IT world. Some of the sr. managers have no clue on what they are doing. They are there because of relationships with Directors and so forth. They have no idea on how to manage the team. No long range planning, no insights. With new culture values, seems like everyone is doing their own thing. Commercial is better
