Pros

Excellent benefits but rather stingy pay. Interesting responsibilities & good opportunities for growth, but it mostly depends on your manager’s opinion of you. Beware of TOXIC bullying managers exerting “little emperor syndrome” & rather clueless upper management wondering why the turnover rate is so very high but only for specific departments. Find a better workplace, it’s not that hard!

Cons

Pressure cooker environment, your health & wellbeing could suffer (really all depends on your manager). Bullying & sexism is tolerated (again, it sadly depends on your manager) but YOU don’t have to take any abuse unless you need to make a living. There are so many other much nicer places to work.

Pros

Extensive and active employee resource groups, strong leadership development opportunities, clear company mission, gig opportunities that support career development, strong employee support through the ombuds office and compliance help line, and stable company portfolio.

Cons

No work-life balance considerations with hybrid work model, contradictions in company mission compared to policies (i.e., target to reduce carbon emissions with employee commuting to office as one of the top 5 causes but yet still requiring employees to commute to office 3 days a week), some office sites are not conducive to in office productivity (not enough privacy or space), compensation package is not competitive for MA pharmaceutical companies, long-term incentives have almost no value once they are vested, health care benefits require employees to jump through hoops to maximize discounts or qualify for coverage of certain medications, and accountability for department leadership to follow the corporate leadership pillars is inconsistent across departments.
