      Business Outlook

      Pros

      It is an international company with a diversity of job opportunities. It has a very ellaborated clinical operations estructure, especially in Latin America with a numerous importan positions to run th clinical trials. Currently there are 12 compounds in the late stage of research with promissing new products in the future in therapeutic ares like Central Nervous System, HIV, cardiology, inmunology, oncology, respiratory system, women´s health, and others.

      Cons

      Terrible an obsolete compensation packages. They are not in the market average. The compensations department should ve more carefully in the way the compensation packages are set up so that they retain talent within the organization.

      Company values are good

      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Company values are good and the products produced benefit people's lives greatly. People are friendly and there is a strongly defined mission statement. Employees actively pull together as a team when there is an urgent objective to be achieved (eg. delivery of life saving medicines for patients).

      Cons

      Aggressive targets to cut costs, the removal of some company benefits and the need to cut the workforce by a significant number recently has affected employee morale. Work-life balance can be an issue - especially if working with teams from different time zones (or reporting to supervisors based in a different time zone).
