      Great Place to Work

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      The company makes a great effort to engage employees and invest in making it a great place to work. There is a determined focus on following the science to develop new life changing medicines and to put patients first.

      Cons

      There is a lot of change and restructuring with a drive to save money by moving jobs to lower cost parts of the world eg India, Eastern Europe, Far East. Increased job opportunities in those locations are offset by job losses in the more traditional locations where the company has operated, It's sad but inevitable.

      Fantastic executive team but middle management is drawn in politics with their peers

      Pros

      - Since last year company targeted simplification of processes and somewhat a clean up withi. It made a big step in this goal and we benefit from some of the projects delivered, in other cases one process has been substituted b another, so not much difference. Company has a great culture recognising teams and people delivering great work. it is based on votes against submitted videos on the activities delivered. Keep this going! it motivated and drives people! - Development opportunities are available in the area of persons current role and only horizontally - Good benefits and overall culture.

      Cons

      - some of the platforms company uses are horrible, such as Ariba with constant issues. Global projects around this tool is a pain to all users, but leadership seems to feel fine with the service vs cost... - Not many dare to speak out, politics win and people tend to please each other than stand for opinion - Too many people work in the company entire life occupying high positions, which means that employees can only develop horizontally - "Old" employees see young generation as threat to their role and it becomes awkward when one is not happy to transfer knowledge and avoiding giving real responsibility/ accountability
