Pros

Pay and benefits are good once youre paid according to your grade and what the market pays. Great opportunity for young talent. Friendly "doers" and great work colleagues in low to mid grade professionals. Great office space with bright modern feel.

Cons

Inexperienced people promoted rapidly above their management capabilities or experience. If your face doesnt fit anymore, they replace you with inexperienced imports. "Leaders" talk the talk but dont walk the walk. Cyclical 18 month re-orgs/restructure, driving highly experienced individuals with great management and leadership skills out the door and those that remain pick up huge work loads. 3 days in office Hybrid policy with mandate of either a Monday or a Friday being in the office. Managers who manage and dont lead, speaking up puts a target on your back, patients are at the heart, but financial targets take priority. Graduate schemes, VIE schemes and apprenticeships abound to keep headcount low and costs lower. Unclear vision or direction. Great place to learn how NOT to manage people.

Pros

Extensive and active employee resource groups, strong leadership development opportunities, clear company mission, gig opportunities that support career development, strong employee support through the ombuds office and compliance help line, and stable company portfolio.

Cons

No work-life balance considerations with hybrid work model, contradictions in company mission compared to policies (i.e., target to reduce carbon emissions with employee commuting to office as one of the top 5 causes but yet still requiring employees to commute to office 3 days a week), some office sites are not conducive to in office productivity (not enough privacy or space), compensation package is not competitive for MA pharmaceutical companies, long-term incentives have almost no value once they are vested, health care benefits require employees to jump through hoops to maximize discounts or qualify for coverage of certain medications, and accountability for department leadership to follow the corporate leadership pillars is inconsistent across departments.
