Pros

Great benefits Modern environment Central location

Cons

Management does not seem to know what they are doing day to day as well as overall Top Management making too many changes at the same time without asking for examples or working through real pilot periods where statistics and analysis govern keeping or dumping that strategy Mergers occur without any reassurance for growth Top producers are being lost to other competing companies while the mediocre performers are kept simply because they hold a doctorate degree Quality is suffering due to the numerous and sudden changes in policy and procedure -as soon as the latest policy is adapted another new one is already being rolled out If direct management does know what is going on they do not tell staff or wait until the change is already rolled out which causes mistrust and lack of respect

Pros

Extensive and active employee resource groups, strong leadership development opportunities, clear company mission, gig opportunities that support career development, strong employee support through the ombuds office and compliance help line, and stable company portfolio.

Cons

No work-life balance considerations with hybrid work model, contradictions in company mission compared to policies (i.e., target to reduce carbon emissions with employee commuting to office as one of the top 5 causes but yet still requiring employees to commute to office 3 days a week), some office sites are not conducive to in office productivity (not enough privacy or space), compensation package is not competitive for MA pharmaceutical companies, long-term incentives have almost no value once they are vested, health care benefits require employees to jump through hoops to maximize discounts or qualify for coverage of certain medications, and accountability for department leadership to follow the corporate leadership pillars is inconsistent across departments.
