Pros

Opportunities to get involved in products at various life cycle stages: clinical trial, market registration and post-market activities. Knowledgeable cross function subject matter experts with great team spirit and approachable demeanor. Management is there to listen to the Team's needs and is prompt in providing support. Awesome HR, excellent benefit package and nice snacks to enjoy in the office. Work-life balance with initiatives such as "meeting-free Friday afternoons", summer hours, and sabbatical program for employees to recharge. Transparency through townhalls and internal news updates.

Cons

Some financial analysts are yet to discover the potential in the Company's pipeline.
