Pros

- very much the industry standard and fairly insulated in pharma - smart, experienced people (although fewer than a few years ago) - fairly flexible working arrangements; moving to open office plan - new management seems committed to grow and change old way of doing things

Cons

- new management doesn't seem to have vision to change old way of doing things other than MBA buzzwords and only real differences have been budget cuts (including things like coffee cups and meals while traveling) - internal structure has led to little visibility to projects/development opportunities across departments - lots of red tape and layers of management that attend meetings but don't make any decisions or have any tangible responsibilites

Pros

Remote work option is nice to have

Cons

Zero support from management, with employee development and team concerns often taking a back seat to other priorities. Morale continues to go downhill, and several colleagues exploring opportunities elsewhere or leaving the organization already. The culture is challenging, particularly around providing candid feedback, as employees often are tracker down and face negative repercussions and retaliations. Career advancement depends more on aligning with leadership preferences than on merit and performance. Would not recommend this company to those seeking a supportive environment with transparent growth opportunities. Overall, the culture is political and difficult to navigate.
