Pros

Excellent benefits (matching 401k, vacation). Great salary.

Cons

Undergoing constant "transformation" and re-reorganization since 2009. When will it end? Very bureaucratic top-heavy organization that moves at a glacial pace making it difficult for groups to advance interesting initiatives without month's long processes requiring sign-offs from upper management. Entirely too focused on what share-holders want rather than what patients need.

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.
