Pros

Great company overall for learning the industry. Great pay and benefits. Steer towards Supply Chain, manufacturing or support areas but stay clear of the pharmacy, at least from my perspective, unless you like running in circles.

Cons

Poor management selection, you have to be a yes man and too many managers with a lack of experience running loose making decisions which can be detrimental to the company when discovered in audits. No real future for the pharmacy if they can't get more products and reduce costs. Changes being made prior to procedures being updated. Sups and managers blatantly telling you to just do it anyway even if a process is wrong.

Pros

Not bad as pharma companies go. Relatively good job security. A lot of lovely, smart and hard working people. Benefits team are generally receptive and benefits have improved. Less likely to lay people off than other pharma/biotech.

Cons

Your experience is almost entirely dictated by your managers. Adherence to official policies is super variable. Site is relatively siloed from the rest of the company, top-heavy, and academic. Too many PhDs, not enough entry level development to support projects and execution. Sometimes a lack of clear leadership or direction and bizarre "old school" pharma opaque communication. Very limited, once yearly opportunities for promotion. Bizarre pay /compensation penalties for taking parental leave that saddles two different calendar years.
