Pros

The benefits, especially the time off, are excellent. Pay and bonus are good and appropriate for experience and geographical area and he health insurance is top tier and very affordable. Most people are nice and helpful but also very professional and they really know their area of expertise and care a lot about doing a good job

Cons

The only issue I've experienced here is that they seem to slow-walk people's careers if you stick around. With a few exceptions, it will take years and years before you are able to move into a supervisory role. There are a lot of people competing for relatively few roles and vacancies in management are rare. They do encourage people to move around a lot which is good if you get bored easily but it seems to be mostly a series of lateral moves. Also, they recently began moving people away from a 3/2 remote/on-site schedule to a 2/3 or more. I suspect they'll try to go back to full on site within the next 12 months, which seems to be something only the senior leaders want.

Pros

Good salary and benefits, if you are in with a clique who will get you promoted.

Cons

Poor accountability, managers are kept on because of friends, rampant ignorance. Unfair and backstabbing mentality, very difficult to go to work. No work life balance, one is expected to pick up the tab for the people who do no work, surf the net, shop on Amazon and chat on WhatsApp all day when others are working.

Pros

Great ambition to help patients and change the way that things work in the pharma industry

Cons

Upper management doesn't seem to realize/care what a mess all of the processes are and how complicated it is to get anything done
