Pros
Chance to get experience working for a global and diverse Healthcare organization. Opportunity to work in a variety of business units from medical device to pharma. Good networking opportunites with other employees and through professional associations. You'll also get exposure to working with government agencies and industry organizations.
Cons
Quite a few senior executives, VPs, and especially the CEO, adopt the work approach of: "It's all about me and my stock options." Businesses often pitted against each other fighting over internal resources. Bi-polar attitude towards financial measurements and work accountability standards. One day you'd be investing in growth, hiring people or expanding operations, and the next day you needed to outsource everything, freeze job requisitions and reduce headcount. Work/life balance difficult as hours were long.
