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

Excellent compensation, benefits, and career development opportunities. Strong investment in innovation, patient-focused mission, and world-class manufacturing capabilities. The New Albany site offers exposure to complex biologics operations, large-scale capital projects, and opportunities to work alongside talented and dedicated professionals committed to delivering medicines to patients.

Cons

The culture and leadership experience became increasingly inconsistent during the last year. Decision-making often lacked transparency, priorities shifted frequently, and employee feedback did not always appear to be valued. The people-centered culture that attracted many long-tenured employees seemed to drift, resulting in reduced trust, lower engagement, and increased organizational uncertainty.
