Pros

Great Pay and benefits. Good people. Company vision is promising wrt drug pipeline. IT strategy clear.

Cons

Annual reorgs in IT has most of the experienced people hanging around waiting for a package. In the US it's a job not a career. Shrink your way to success strategy. Brain drain... off shore all technical jobs to India or Mexico (calling it "insourcing"). Hiring technical people off shore with the decent technical know how but no clue about the business. ZERO opportunities for career growth / promotion in the US or Sweden.

Pros

Great salary, awesome benefits, flexible working arrangements, vacation, 401k match at six percent, generous bonus and stock options for certain level employees, great work/life balance most of the time.

Cons

Constantly changing, and not in a good way. Never knew where you stood or when your run was over... sadly keeping under performers employed and not promoting talent. Total lack of clear leadership.
