Pros

I worked with incredibly talented people who were smart and cared about improving people's health.

Cons

The leadership of the company is 100% solely beholden to the shareholder, no one else matters. Managers don't care about their employees because at any moment they could be asked to lay them off. Top performers be damned.

Pros

Opportunity to work with some really great people. As a large company, many opportunities to develop oneself by applying for more challenging positions. Some teams are well aligned.

Cons

Steady stream of layoffs results in general unease - who will be next? The pharmaceutical business model is changing dramatically due to lack of significant new products, regulatory pressure on sales, inability to influence managed healthcare decision makers, etc. The good old days of pharma are over. Overly bureaucratic, and can be slow to make decisions
