Pros

Excellent benefits (particularly health & 401K matching). There are pockets of really wonderful people working here that go above and beyond to satisfy their customers (both internal and external) -- usually they're long-timers that have survived the many mergers and acquisitions over the years, but some newer people too. All in all still a very good corporation to work for.

Cons

It's a large corporation, incumbent with all the normal bureaucracy, red tape, and politics. Not unexpected, but still something to consider when evaluating a position. Mergers and acquisitions have taken their toll on the culture at this company. It's losing its character more and more as each executive comes in to put their stamp on the place.

Pros

You Learn a lot about GMP/Pharmaceutical Industry since its heavily regulated by the FDA. The pay is good for the position.

Cons

There are limited opportunities for career advancement, particularly for contractors. Training is generally restricted to the specific process equipment required for assigned tasks, with little opportunity for broader skill development. Additionally, the workplace culture can be challenging. Some long-tenured employees appear to feel entitled to treat others disrespectfully, creating a toxic work environment. Their seniority often seems to shield them from accountability, as concerns raised with management frequently go unaddressed. There also appears to be a lack of diversity and inclusion, which contributes to workplace microaggressions, disrespectful behavior, and an environment where not all employees feel equally valued or respected. There is limited opportunity for contractors being hired on a full time basis, they have to leave the company for six months before they can be hired back! No company benefits for contractors!
