Pros

Good working atmosphere, a lot of expertise in this company. Commonly shared goals and ethical values. Family-owned business, which allows for a more mid- to long-term strategy, which starts to pay off.

Cons

Reputation as a pharmaceutical company to bring new drugs on the market will have to improve (i.e. commonly shared goal AND vision).
