Pros

Good salary and benefits. Great facilities. It is the largest pharma company in the world so it has clout. If you do your job and the luck of the draw have a good manager, you'll go places.

Cons

Your advancement depends on who your manager is and who you know. Some mangers are totally incompetent and some are extremely competent. Now that the industry has no block buster drugs, the pendulum is swinging extremely to the other side. Extremely is the key word here. It seems there's over reaction all over the place.

Pros

A good amount of remote monitoring, which depending on how you view can be a positive.

Cons

Changing systems and inconsistent standards are applied to people. There are many differing models that often muddy how you are supposed to do your job, especially when other staff members don't quite understand. How do you interface with the changing models? There tends to be a lot of blame and foisting of responsibilities. Sometimes you can become overburdened with a lot of work, where people do not respect your time and think that their tasks should take priority. It is possible to be contacted late at night with work to do and then be criticized the next day for not being able to keep up.
