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.

Pros

I learned a lot while working this job. The systems like Veeva and Workfront were difficult to learn at first, but once I got the hang of them it was great. There were a lot of great people working around me that wanted to see me succeed.

Cons

Working as a contract worker had it's cons. At times, it felt like I was a little bit of an afterthought in the company with some superiors because I was not a full time employee. Communication suffered at times as well.
