Pros

Lots of support with the steep learning curve of joining a new company and industry. Excellent working environment with friendly colleagues and ample facilities. Huge opportunities to develop both hard and soft skills. Active youth network (though see the cons). Lots of exposure to, and chance to work and and contribute to, global drug projects.

Cons

Although the Youth society does well I hear the funding is very poor. A lot of graduates come from overseas and need the Youth society to integrate and find their feet. An enjoyable event could be the difference between losing or retaining an exceptional individual before they've had a chance. [I can only speak for the Mölndal site]
