Good company but doesn't always practice what it preaches

Pros

It offers a great place to learn the intricaces and complexities of business for a Fortune 500 company. The company has high ethical standards and nearly all the people I interacted with were of high moral character.

Cons

There is a great emphasis on continuous learning including coaching employees, change management, developing leaders, effective communication, etc. However, its management rarely follows its own training. It has often been described as a good, solid, slow moving company. Although it wants to be an innovative company, it has made a lot of poor decisions over the past decade and is desperately trying to right the ship without actually admitting its mistakes.

Pros

Actively focused on the future and transforming itself to be a leader in the life sciences industry. Tranformations are underway in multiple functions to posture itself for the next 10 years of growth which provides many opportunities within the company.

Cons

Tends to plan more initiatives than can be accomplished with the available resources which causes priority conflicts.
