Pros

- very much the industry standard and fairly insulated in pharma - smart, experienced people (although fewer than a few years ago) - fairly flexible working arrangements; moving to open office plan - new management seems committed to grow and change old way of doing things

Cons

- new management doesn't seem to have vision to change old way of doing things other than MBA buzzwords and only real differences have been budget cuts (including things like coffee cups and meals while traveling) - internal structure has led to little visibility to projects/development opportunities across departments - lots of red tape and layers of management that attend meetings but don't make any decisions or have any tangible responsibilites

Pros

Tremendous data assets and people subject matter expertise. Great assistance in providing employees with learning new skills and career growth. The company embraces workers with deep experience

Cons

A lot of confusion and competition on who engages clients and who gets credit for sales. Clients are often confused on who is the point of contact .
