Consistent Rounds of Layoffs

Pros

Comp is decent, benefits are ok at best, and PTO could use a lot of improvement-- lifetime cap out after 5years, and that cap out what a lot of Pharma companies start at.

Cons

Consistent layoffs of groups of people every 6-9 months. Lost A LOT of good people this way! They don't consult the immediate Managers or Directors if it makes sense to lose people in the group. And they don't backfill and just expect remaining employees to step in and take on the work of everyone who was laid off, while most groups already have a very heavy workload. Then they severely impact perfromance reviews and bonuses of those affected because they are unable to take the additional workload burden. I've heard that HR has started to end Offer Letters with the phrase, "May the odds be ever in your favor."

Pros

- If you get a good manager it's tolerable until it isn't

Cons

- Unrealistic sales expectations - Constant harassment if you don't hit goal - Home office out of touch with reality - CEO doesn't know how to run a company/should be replaced - Director promotes toxic work environment/should be terminated - Bad coverage for primary product that has much cheaper alternatives - Mediocre salary/bonus By far the worst pharmaceutical company I've ever worked for.
