Pros

Best pipeline training in the Industry. Top in Incentive and Compensation.

Cons

Loss of patent protection. Robust generic pipeline. Over regulatory environment. All these factors have led to a company wrought with creative paralysis. Recent quarterly earnings reports have been sugar coated to cover up fact that sales force, scientists, and corporate staffs are being laid off at an alarming rate. Retained employees are seeing their severance packages curtailed and pensions are going away. Compliance regulations have ensured total sales force paralysis. When you are afraid to communicate about your products on your corporate laptops, then there is something wrong with the corporate enviornment!!

Pros

Good people. They truly want to make a difference. Great experience. The company (at least many divisions) is flexible with working from home and/or other offices as needed.

Cons

Very political and bureaucratic - continuous downsizing has caused the culture to become more cut throat instead of collaborative.
