Pros

There are definitely no pros at all.

Cons

This is an unfinished list. Just a few major themes that have been reoccurring over the years in the Singapore office, especially in one particular department since 2014: Autocracy Abusive behavior of leader Compliance rules ignored Double standards Racism Deliberately make people’s life difficult who are unwanted or have fallen from grace Medieval people management Despotism and tyranny in different daily doses No one has dared to speak up or call the abbvie hotline, since people who did talk or expressed their opinion have been forced out in the past or been obviously mobbed in every aspect. The best advice I can give to everyone who is an educated and skilled professional is not to work for the regional office in Singapore. There at far better places where you are treated with respect and as a human being!

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.
