Pros

Prestige Global employment opportunities Easy movement between departments Very competitive salary compared with other pharmaceutical companies (so I have heard)

Cons

No merit based promotions Very weak and undeveloped mid level management Highly political, to the point where you will spend most of your time on this versus the work Highly risk-averse so very few changes occur
