Pros

Decent benefits with plenty of in house resources available to enhance your selling skills. Upward mobility if you're willing to brown nose and sell off label.

Cons

Micromanagement from managers who never did well in the field but now know everything. Policy of "managing out" reps that won't follow sometimes questionable managers advice.

Pros

Talk a good talk, have great ideas but don't deliver a quality product. Good benefits and great social activities. Some departments have an extremely heavy workload.

Cons

Very dysfunctional. Hire folks, start programs, lay folks off to gain cost saving bonus for upper management. Seen this done at least 3-4 times.

Pros

Optimistic culture leading people to believe in a bright future. Several recent drug approvals and more to come. Compensation on par with competition in most areas.

Cons

CEO is too dominating and not accepting people with opinions against his own. Because CEO has hired extensively from his former company Roche a big chunk of 'old' talent in the organisation has left or is on the verge of leaving.
