Pros

- Nice salary - Nice 401k bonus

Cons

- Incompetent Management: they have no clue of what their team's doing. They have zero clue what's going on in the frontline of typical work day. One month they are happy with your work, the other month they're not. It's like being in a kindergarden. Just grow up, would you? - No processes: the whole thing is a mess. They wanted to be smarter by reinventing the wheel, It ended up as a huge failure. Just acknowledge that you are capable of doing nothing (other than talking for an hour without taking a signle breath). - Responsibilities of your role are not clearly definied. Not even the people you work with are sure who to contact regarding certain issues. - Delusional expectations from the Management: you work 3 employees job as an individual. - People have no clue about Service Transformation and ITIL. Not quite sure how the IT department of this company is still alive... - French accent is horrible: you can't understand your managers / peers, as they refuse to learn proper English. - Insane amount of daily calls: Half of your day is gonna gete consumed by meaningless conference calls.

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.
