Pros

Big Pharma - Global company Lots of departments=opportunities, can apply to a new job every 18 months if you so choose, can transfer to different parts of the country or world Learn something new every day Diversity is welcome and encouraged

Cons

Management has decided that staff can only move laterally. Makes it hard to apply to positions a level up. To move up, staff must be promoted. Some staff have been up for promotions for over one and even two years (sometime executing work at that level) but every time our annual evaluation period rolls around, they are told that there isn't any budget for promotions. Every year or so, some departments are reduced in staff and then the Company outsources the work.

Pros

Work/life balance is excellent, work helps improve peoples' health/lives, campus and facilities are beautiful, on-campus gym, nice and funny coworkers, 401(k) employer match/contribution is great

Cons

Career growth and promotion opportunities appear to be limited since the upper levels are filled with people who don't leave, location in Thousand Oaks is kind of far from the rest of LA, lot of office gossip
