Not the best, not the worst

Pros

Remote work, decent (but not great) benefits, good bonus structure for non-sales staff. Many business units = opportunity to learn about a wide variety of products. Lateral position moves between departments is encouraged when opportunities arise.

Cons

Travel and educational budgets were cut dramatically due to the pandemic, but now that the health rules are easing up a bit, we're not seeing a concurrent increase in travel and education funds. Probably due in part to the alleged spin-off of Bausch & Lomb, but no one is able to confirm that (very tight lid on information, as is appropriate). R&D staff in some business units is not held accountable for missing target delivery dates year after year, which puts pressure on other business units, including regulatory affairs, to pick up the slack. Compensation for long-time employees often lags significantly behind new hires, but executive management has indicated that there are no plans to rectify the discrepancies.

Pros

No one stands over your shoulder and micromanages you. You are free and left to your own devices, as long as you get the work done. You can ask for help and expect to receive it. No one works in silos. People are always moving about.

Cons

If you come on as a contractor through a staffing agency the pay is slightly less than if you come in permanently. I don't necessarily see this as a con. Staffing agencies have to turn a profit off the employees they source and contracted employees want to be able to ask for/expect a pay increase when they transition into permanent employment .
