Pros

Good pay and pension scheme

Cons

Nepotism and very bad management. Management stick their head in the sand and don't want to know any issues. Management look after family and friends and its destroyed the place. You are threatened about loosing your annual bonus if you pass a remark or make a mistake on a weekly basis. It's absolutely the worst and most toxic environment I have ever worked in.

Pros

This is a large, multi-national company with lots of investment and fast-changing portflio, which allows for participation in multiple different projects. Career prospects are great - if not within the department, within the company there are multiple opportunities to progress. There is also a generous continuous education allowance, which allows one to study towards a selected degree while working. The company invests in the wellbeing of the employees, there is a staff canteen, coffee dock and gym on site, good health insurance and pension benefits, free parking.

Cons

As in many large places, the employee satisfaction depends largely on the direct management - with good leaders the work is great, with bad leaders it can become a nightmare. I personally have had a good experience, but in some departments the staff turn around is quick because it's not as great. There is not much R&D involved in the fill-finish site I work on, so career progression in scientific research is limited. Career progression within the own department is also limited.
