Pros

This is a good company to learn the business of drug development. Learning the Rules and Regulations of new drug development. This company evolved from a much smaller company which developed excellent SOP(standard operating procedures). The guts of how to bring a new drug to market from beginning to FDA was done correctly. A good place to learn. As the company grew and merged the corporate culture changed drastically.

Cons

The benefit package was not stabilized for retirement, investment, or bonus programs. The helthcare was good. Advancement was difficult, many times it depended on personal choices. Not great with vacation or personal time.
