Pros

respect for people reasonable, though not outstanding salary above average vacation time good training and development opportunities large company with opportunities for advancement ethical company

Cons

low bonus payments - even top 10% do not earn much above target bonus top performers not well rewarded poor forecasting - often significantly different than actual sales nationally and company rarely if ever adjusts the goal after they realize thier error weak managed care team somewhat bureaucratic new drug pipeline looks rather empty training is rather lax - easy to pass but some sales reps find their knowledge inadequate when they enter field sales

Pros

Good benefits (9% 401k match, company car, solid insurance). Huge company with many therapeutic areas you can choose from. I like my coworkers.

Cons

Employee stock purchase plan is nice in theory, but stock has treaded water for many years. A very big company with lots of big pharma metrics to meet. Pay is maybe slightly below industry average.

Pros

The company has an excellent, very collegial atmosphere. Employees are supported well and there is excellent support for most processes from numerous line functions.

Cons

Some processes as well as the governance structure can be a bit confusing. More so than other large pharma companies. But even with this. There are almost always enough people who know how to get things done.
