Pros

Great company with visionary leadership Great bonus and benefits Work from home options My job offered me the chance to gain lots of experience which looks great on my CV Company is very open to moving between departments if the opportunities arise and line managers are expected to be supportive towards this.

Cons

As expected of big Pharma, multiple layers of management Communication from upper management could be better though if you have a good line manager, she/he will more than make up for this where they can Sometimes difficult to progress depending on the state of the department - resourcing was difficult at times, therefore workload could be very high

People friendly culture. Employees are very passionate about their work.

Cons

Some employees seem to be overworked. Not sure if this has to do with being passionate about their job or they actually have a lot of work assigned.
